Ancient Of The Old Lyrics - Singles - Seals And Crofts

On a crisp as bacon morning with the sunshine on my head 

From the twilight of the dawning, raised myself up from my bed 

Fixed mine eyes upon a favor like no mortal eye, behold 

Then I chose to taste the flavor of the ancient of the old 

On a chill as winter evening in a doubtful circumstance 

He stopped the evil breathing of a one time's serpent's chance 

Old black sea with silver lining, how I long with all my soul 

To quaff the mystic fragrance of the ancient of the old 

From a red as amber burning with a chalice in my hand 

I know there is no turning, I must now obey command 

At last decree has destined, now the mystery untold 

Will shine in all its glory from the ancient of the old
