Once Upon a Time

Once Upon a Time is the fourteenth track of Kamelot's tenth album, Poetry for the Poisoned. It's written by Roy Khan and Thomas Youngblood. This is considered an "epilogue" of the Poetry for the Poisoned saga, because it's the only song that plays after the saga.

Lyrics
I am scorn in this heavenly scheme

With a stench of destruction

I'm a reaper of beautiful dreams

And she knows

I'm on the edge

Sacrilege

Push me over

Tell me once upon a time

I close my eyes

And see myself reborn

Righting the wrong

I won't stay to stand in line

Or wait for God to shine all over me

I wait for the storm

I am you

And know that you heard

You and I are the last

At the end of the world

Then we talk

And we run

And we hide

Then so what

The human race

Suffocates

Leave me breathless

Tell me once upon a time

I close my eyes

And see myself reborn

Righting the wrong

I won't stay to stand in line

Or wait for God to shine all over me

I wait for the storm

Move along

Through the ashes of a dream

Move along

And see myself anew again
