[Intro]

Once Upon A Time

...

So the story starts
So the story goes

...

And so it ends
And starts again

...

In stories where
We make pretend

...

But life is more
Than stories bold

...

And so it goes
Or so I'm told

...

Before we die
Or we grow old

...

[Verse 1]

I crossed through night
And dawn so bright
...
Through crimson skies
And dying light
...
The pages crackle
Restless ghosts fight
...
And heartbeats turn
While witches soar in twilight
...

[Chorus]

I'll find the land
Where stories fly
...
Under Gilead
Or Avalon sky
...
To castles in clouds
And darkest dungeons
...
With heroes spry
Through the endless fight
...
Wearing capes lined red
...
Over Armor of white
...
Under Gilead
Or Avalon sky
...
To the place where stories
Live and die
...

[Verse 2]

I drank my woes
Among twisted foes
...
The victors rode to the setting sun
Carrying with them the spoils they won
...
Happy endings a dream come true
Never seem to happen in the world I knew
...
No happily ever after
Waiting under those skies
...

[Chorus]

[Verse 3]

Stories unfold
From days of old
...
We find dangers here
And strangers there
...
The fear we feel
Never lets us heal
...
No happily ever after
under these skies
...

[Chorus]

[Bridge]

In the end the truth's a lie
Under here or foreign sky
So we keep on repeating
Stories twisted to deny
...
It calls to me
It calls to you
...
Over rainbow light
Under banners high
Where soldiers march
And poets die
...
Away to places not on any map
And there'll be dragons
...
I won't turn back
I'll give truth to lies
If it means
Hope revives
...

[Chorus]

[Coda]

So the story starts
So the story goes

...

And so it ends
And starts again

...

In stories where
We make pretend

...

And maybe learn
To hope again

...

In the place
Where stories lie

...
