no golden light

echo the trumpet from the tower walls
the knights in their gas-guzzlers fighting hard
avoiding for a time the human halls

the horns not elfin not dying the falls
from fantasy it seems we all are barred
echo the trumpet from the tower walls

for even the doughtiest the adventure palls
the days and nights no longer starred
avoiding for a time the human halls

not any more the noble routs and balls
the dances are no longer on the card
echo the trumpet from the tower walls

across the hills the modern city sprawls
the hollow hils have been forever marred
avoiding for a time the human halls

no one is left to hear the last bird calls
the dragons are no longer under guard
echo the trumpet from the tower walls
avoiding for a time the human halls
