And so the sun rose over the horizon of time
As the birds sang their sweet, sweet melodies
The people rose with them, their hearts full of cheer
For in this land of plenty, all was calm and clear

The trees bore fruit, the rivers flowed with ease
And all the creatures of the forest danced with glee

We built our city on a hill of dreams
Where love and peace and harmony it seemed

But little did we know, the darkness drew near
And with it, our hearts began to fear
