A very very long time ago
When the earth was new
A daring young man rode his horse to the king
A very very long time ago
When the world was young
A king put a daring young man in armor
A very very long time ago
When life was fresh
This man in his armor rode into battle
This man in his armor discovered war
This man in his armor died in his armor
And thus it all began
A very very short time ago
When the earth had aged
Two daring nations waged war for the good of all on the earth
A very very short time ago
When the world was old
Terror was wrought and vengeance was sought
For all on the earth
A very very short time ago
When there was life
All on the earth stood and watched the battle
All on the earth saw the blinding red flash
All on the earth died on the earth
And thus it all ended
