When the city of Atlantis stood serene above the sea, Long time before our time when the world was free, Those were the days. <♪> Golden cymbals flying on ocarina sounds, Before wild Medusa's serpents gave birth to hell Disguised as heaven. <♪> Those were the days, yes they were, those were the days. Those were their ways, miracles everywhere- where are they now? They're gone. Those were their ways, yes they were, those were their ways. Those were the days, yes they were, those were the days. <♪> Tie your painted shoes and dance, blue daylight in your hair, Overhead a noiseless eagle fans a flame. Wonder everywhere. <♪> Those were the days, yes they were, those were the days. Those were their ways, miracles everywhere- where are they now? They're gone. Those were their ways, yes they were, those were their ways. Those were the days, yes they were, those were the days.
