Back in the pagan days
witches did things their own way
Spending the days on the green meadows under the mountains
Back in the pagan days
the practice of witchcraft was commonplace
Siting round casting spells on moonlight nights

Oh great pagan epoch
if only you would last forever
How I miss those days
back in the pagan days

Owls howling like ghosts at night
dark silhouettes cast by the moonlight
Something's going on by a distant light
Pagans gathering round at night
gathering round the firelight
This is how we use to spend the summer nights

Oh great pagan epoch
if only you would last forever
How I miss those days
back in the pagan days

And when all is gone
I know I would rather die
When I can see there’s nothing left for me
Long gone are the days
when life was lived the right ways
This is the tale of times that have long gone by


The Pagan world in ancient times
in ancient times
Owls howling at night
from deep within the woods


Sitting round a funeralpyre
summoning spirits from the fire
One last time when everything has gone
Long and magical summer days
spent out in forests and meadows
Gathering food and herbs for potions

Oh great pagan epoch
if only you would last forever
How I miss those days
back in the pagan days

Now the elves an ancient being
they have a love for all things green
Melancholy by nature but all so wise
Now the elves where a pagans friend
and before the pagans went
Elves could be seen in the forest and the meadows at night

Oh great pagan epoch
if only you would last forever
How I miss those days
back in the pagan days

Why did it ever end
I cannot understand
What we now have today does not compare
This is sad beyond believe
gone have all the green leaves
This is the tale of times that have long gone by
