The Music I Heard Once Lyrics - Singles - Emilie Autumn

The music I heard once 

Was louder than it is now 

I can no longer distinguish 

Pained cries from shouts of joy 

Perhaps my ears are deaf 

Or the interference too great 

Still the order I remember 

Has given way to discord 

And while running wild was exciting 

It was so only for a moment 

Fleeting as a note 

Leaving an even more transparent impression 

The music I recall 

Was different than it is now 

For the new makes the old seem older than it is 

To think from that 

We grew into a new age 

Suggests that ages past 

Were not enough for adventuring souls 

For stars too bright to be concealed 

In a dark but beauteous night 

We will paste upon the curled pages words 

Like charming and romantic and sentimental 

Forgetting that charming is witchcraft 

Romantic is love 

And sentiment is what makes us human
