Once Upon A Time
Atlas Pain Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
There's a legend of ministrels and bards
So take a rest and listen to my
Old and wise words
Here's the man with a clouded mind
No more stories for the mighty king
Through the window a beggar man
Gambling with fate
It's the story of the time
Let me show you a magic of an ancient rambling man
Chase the swindler
Let him pay as a sign from the sorrow
There's no more tomorrow
But all can be turned as it was
Once Upon A Time
Once Upon A Time
Once Upon A Time
It's the story of the time
Let me show you a magic trick of an ancient rambling man
Chase the swindler
Let him pay as a sign from the sorrow
There's no more tomorrow
But all can be turned as it was
The past is just illusion
All can be shaped
As the story you want, my dear
Far away in a forgotten land
There's a legend of ministrels and bards
So take a rest and listen to my
Old and wise words
Here's the man with a clouded mind
No more stories for the mighty king
Through the window a beggar man
Gambling with fate
It's the story of the time
Let me show you a magic trick of an ancient rambling man
Chase the swindler
Let him pay as a sign from the sorrow
There's no more tomorrow
But all can be turned as it was
Once Upon A Time
Once Upon A Time
