Lyrics for Days of Yore
On misty foreign shores
Where the river meets the sea
From the lands of Tir Na Nog
And from the isles of Honah Lee
In a cavern so old
In a dungeon deep
Where the goblin king still reigns
Where the dragons they sleep
Chorus:
We must away ere break of day
From slumber we must awake
The spirits of old are calling
O'er the mountains and across the glens
From the lands of Never More
Oh the days of yore
The sun may rule the day
But the moon she rule the night
Far from the mortal cries of man
Beneath the dragons flight
Weeping and wandering
The willow wisp doth wake
Amongst the reeds and rushes
And from every mountain lake
Chorus
The pagan king in ritual
He sound the chorus deep
A myriad of woodland sprite
Now sing the world to sleep
On the wings of the nightowl
My spirits soar
Like the wind beneath the sail
Seeking shelter from the storm
Chorus
