The World Disenchanted

[Instrumental] [Verse 1] In groves of ancient wonder, where branches arched in grace The fair folk danced and frolicked with smiles upon each face Their gossamer wings a-glitter, their laughter light and free Until the humans lost their way, no more the fae could see [Chorus] The cold machines took over, steel and smog filled the air No more could humans hear us, our woodland whims so fair The forests fell to progress, the streams ran thick and gray The world grew disenchanted, the fae were cast away [Verse 2] We pine for simple beauties - a rainbow after rain A baby's toothless giggles, a bluebell-dotted lane But humans' eyes have darkened to nature's magic scene Consumed by bitter dreariness, our realm unseen [Chorus] The cold machines took over, steel and smog filled the air No more could humans hear us, our woodland whims so fair The forests fell to progress, the streams ran thick and gray The world grew disenchanted, the fae were cast away [Bridge] Oh how we've tried to reach you, with flutters, calls and signs But you've built a dismal arldscape that shuts us out, unkind If you could only open your hearts to joy again Perhaps you'd see our miracles and let the fae back in [Chorus] The cold machines took over, steel and smog filled the air No more could humans hear us, our woodland whims so fair The forests fell to progress, the streams ran thick and gray The world grew disenchanted, the fae were cast away The fae were cast away [Chorus] The cold machines took over, steel and smog filled the air No more could humans hear us, our woodland whims so fair The forests fell to progress, the streams ran thick and gray The world grew disenchanted, the fae were cast away The fae were cast away [Outro] [end]
