gone are the cities of the golden age

lost worlds lost cities lost purposes and all
the stories that so charmed us as we grew
are each of them straight legends of the fall

the golden bull now is crushed into a ball
and broken is the emperor's hero crew
lost worlds lost cities lost purposes and all

backwards we reach even as forward we crawl
we know our answers though not wholly true
are each of of them straight legends of the fall

what once was large looks now cramped and small
but is still bright still beautifully blue
lost worlds lost cities lost purposes and all

still in our minds the heroes yet walk tall
the divinities that so casually flew
are each of them straight legends of the fall

and now we stand and wait the formal call
the one that tells us at one time we knew
lost worlds lost cities lost purposes and all
are each of them straight legends of the fall
