Circus Of Heaven(LP Version)
The day the Circus of Heaven came into town,
Local folk lined the streets in a midwestern town,
Waiting anxiously for the parade to begin all around, on the very last day.
A Unicorn headed the mystical way
Surrounded by what seemed a thousand golden angels at play:
Behind were Centaurs, elves, bright fairies, all in colours of Jade, on the very final day.
For what seemed only just another moment in time,
Seven solemn flying silver regal horses rode by,
Seven golden chariots in tow, a wonder to behold: the Seven Lords of the Mountains of Time!
There then arose where nothing really stood there before,
A giant tent rising a thousand feet high from the floor
Townspeople flocked inside, with their eyes all amazed, to greet the 7th Lord of the Seventh Age!
A fanfare rang out in incredible sounds,
Bringing out the strangest visions in perfect harmony 'round
Many dreams he asked would they like to have seen from historical or mythical scenes.
Then, there above their heads, just as vivid as life,

Each vision, transported in multitudes, inventing Light,
Grecian galleons, The Sack of Troy, to the Gardens of Babylon–a play of millions roared along.
The gigantic dreams of Alexander The Great,
Civil wars, where brothers fought and killed their friendship in hate
All seen by Zeus performing scenes of the Magical Way, the day the Circus came to town.
Outside: great animals as tame as the trees,
Angels, high in starlight dancing streets
Tuning their colours with indigo and gold,
Dropping violet, red and emerald snow
As the circus finally changed its invisible course: a new world to be found…
On the dreamy ground we walked upon, I turned to my son and said,
'Was that some thing, beautiful, amazing, wonderful, extraordinary, beautiful!'
'It was OK…” [son replies]“but there were no clowns, or lions or tigers, no bears, no candy-floss
or toffee-apples…
No clowns!'
