if god were the sun
and goddess the moon
apollo and artemis
in this likely tune

if the was never a christ
would we wear togas still
would there be gladiators
down for the kill

oh, the romance of gods
have passed there prime
who names in granite stone
in the technology of time
we now but stand alone.

hermes, hera, zeus and aries...
aphrodite, hephestus and posideon...
the oracals, fates and furries...
as one begins a story once up on...

the all the faded glory of days gone by
heralding rainbows, thunderbolts and sunsets
i am no less, no more, just i
to remember the life i've lived and regrets

that i could remember those days of old,
to be where the golden age begun...
mystic shadows and showers of gold...
if god were the sun--
