On a cold winternight with the moon ablaze
 
 We where gathered around the fireplace
 
 Silent we sat with our foaming ales
 
 Respectfully waiting for the old man's tale
 
  
  With a final draw on his ivory pipe
 
 The old man raised his voice , and began
  
 
 As his voice raised and sank in the strangest rhyme
 
 We drifted away to worlds of ancient times
 
 By his words we where able to see through his eyes
 
 Into places beyond where dragons still flies
  
 
 Forgotten realms , mysterious lands
 
 When childhood dreams are close at hand
 
 With mythical beasts and lustrous elfs
 
 Those magical worlds reveal themselves
  
 
 And when the story ended we felt hollow yet glad
 
 The return to the grey reality made us all a bit sad
 
 But I could see the faith in everyones eyes
 
 That somewhere , there are worlds where dragons fly
  
 
 And this strange night in late december
 
 Will stay in my mind , and I'll , remember
  
 
 Forgotten realms , mysterious lands
 
 When childhood dreams are close at hand
 
 With mythical beasts and lustrous elfs
 
 Those magical worlds reveal themselves
