Lyrics
Once in paradise
the lion and the lamb did lay
ignorance was bliss
sweet peace she ruled the day
bittersweet the fruit of knowledge
for every smile there's a price to pay
Inconvenient mortality
time just slips away
Time conquers all
Time repeats all the answers
As it was and ever will be
It will be again
Bold young king, folks sung his praises
Called him wise, for the things he'd say
Built great halls, got all he dreamed of
But then he walked away
Nothing new under the sun
Other Kings in olden days
Did the same things he had done
Then time washed them away
Time conquers all
Time repeats all the answers
As it was and ever will be
It will be again
From the dust we were risen
to it we'll return one day
seems we're just passing through
and then we fly away
Eat and drink and love while you can
While the sun shines, go make hay
tomorrow is vanity
We get to live today
Time conquers all
Time repeats all the answers
As it was and ever will be
It will be again
