[00:03.44]Songs Title：kingdom of childhood
[00:04.82]
[00:09.37]The ship that sails the seven seas
[00:16.30]Has finally brought me to my knees
[00:21.30]It's not much to my liking
[00:27.86]The people standing on the rock
[00:34.48]Are innocent and they know not
[00:38.97]That the tide comes in
[00:41.16]Death rides it like a Viking
[00:47.65]The mountains rise above the mist
[00:54.51]And the golden prince I've never kissed
[00:59.69]He may die tonight
[01:05.93]And why do I want to ride with
[01:13.23]The prince whose alleged horse is white?
[01:17.72]Because when we ride together
[01:21.15]Our lives are cloaked forever
[01:27.47]Happiness is temporary
[01:30.78]Believe me, I know
[01:34.46]It can arrive as a shining crystal
[01:38.08]And leave as the melting snow
[01:42.07]Come all you lads and lasses
[01:45.94]The Kingdom of Childhood passes
[01:56.80]Oh, but I am hardy in these years
[02:04.22]Or I'd have sunk down with my tears
[02:08.71]To the earth beneath my feet
[02:14.89]I want to endure the slings and arrows
[02:22.32]That Hamlet spoke about
[02:24.81]But harrowed,
[02:27.12]He was forced to a ragged defeat
[02:34.86]There was a method to his madness
[02:42.16]But overcome by pride and sadness
[02:47.28]He did not endure
[02:53.59]Surely his death was a grave mistake
[03:00.39]How many deaths do we really calculate?
[03:06.00]Isn't it true, Lord
[03:09.12]Tragedies happen when you're bored?
[03:15.23]Happiness is temporary
[03:18.04]Believe me, I know
[03:21.91]It can arrive as a shining crystal
[03:25.34]And leave as the melting snow
[03:29.83]Come all you lads and lasses
[03:33.89]The Kingdom of Childhood passes
[03:45.19]You archangels, you have some nerve
[03:52.55]To watch all of this you are absurd
[03:56.67]You even have a choice
[04:02.66]
[04:03.22]Do you know all? I think you may
[04:09.65]
[04:10.52]And what is there for you to say
[04:14.76]But understand
[04:16.13]Why God took back your voice
[04:23.19]SIlence is golden, I believe
[04:30.67]And you are worth your weight
[04:33.61]In wreaths of purest gold
[04:41.47]While we are here with debts and bets
[04:49.09]And aircraft carriers and jets
[04:53.14]I call out fruitlessly
[04:56.08]Give me an archangel for company
[05:02.71]Happiness is temporary
[05:05.64]Believe me, I know
[05:09.63]It can arrive as a shining crystal
[05:12.82]And leave as the melting snow
[05:17.18]Come all you lads and lasses
[05:20.99]The Kingdom of Childhood passes
[05:31.04]
[05:31.98]Me in the woods at the break of dawn
[05:39.33]
[05:39.96]The candles of the night still on
[05:43.77]The chimes ring from the hollow
[05:50.57]I too am worth my weight in gold
[05:58.06]But the fishmonger and I are old
[06:01.80]When the mint runs out
[06:03.68]Our real lives will follow
[06:09.78]It was misfortune who woke you up
[06:17.40]To pour you the dregs from her broken cup
[06:22.71]Cast her aside
[06:28.88]The sunrise will appear with the mockingbird
[06:35.49]Who stays deep in the canyon and is heard
[06:39.68]Glorious in his song
[06:44.23]He cannot be wrong
[06:50.23]Happiness is temporary
[06:53.15]Believe me, I know
[06:57.28]It can arrive as a shining crystal
[07:00.15]And leave as the melting snow
[07:04.83]Come all you lads and lasses
[07:08.69]The Kingdom of Childhood passes
[07:12.06]There's another one just beyond
[07:15.68]Act quickly before it's gone
[07:25.67]
