| So long ago and far away
|
| Although it seems like yesterday
|
| With dreams of wisdom dancing
|
| Elude now he must say
|
| Hush the angel’s song, the demons want to play
|
| No longer with the castle choir (ahh)
|
| His quest but quenched by dark desire (desire)
|
| He trembled and he shook
|
| As he climbed the canyon’s wall
|
| A weathered hand appeared, it would not let him fall
|
| Into the night he sang the first lonely song of tears and pain
|
| He played the first power chords about evil lords that reign
|
| Searchin' for answers, and finding only lies
|
| The first rocker found his voice, much to his surprise
|
| Hello there, weary traveler
|
| Hello, kind gypsy
|
| You must be hungry
|
| Ah, yes, I am
|
| Please try my stew
|
| Um, actually, wh- what’s in this?
|
| It’s made of delicious mutton
|
| Uh-
|
| To provide nourishment for your journeys
|
| It, uh, doesn’t, doesn’t look very, um-
|
| I think it’s pretty good stew
|
| Oh, okay
|
| Yeh, try some
|
| He longed for answers that she knew
|
| (Longed for answers that she knew)
|
| That weathered hag went on of nothing more than stew
|
| And then he peeked inside the gypsy scroll (scroll)
|
| Loosely translated, it just said «Rock and roll»
|
| Into the night he sang the first lonely song of tears and pain
|
| He played the first power chords as the skies began to rain
|
| He know how the worlds collide when the angels call his name
|
| They’ve never heard a darker song with such a sweet refrain
|
