Clrcus Of Heaven Lyrics - Yes

The day the Circus of Heaven came into town 

Local folk lined the streets in a Midwestern town 

Waiting anxiously for the parade to begin all around 

On the very last day 

A unicorn headed the mystical way 

Surrounded by what seemed a thousand golden angels at play 

Behind were Centaurs, elves, bright fairies all in colours of jade 

On the very final day 

For what seemed only just another moment in time 

Seven solemn flying silver regal horses rode by 

Seven golden chariots in tow, a wonder to behold 

The Seven Lords of the Mountains of Time 

There then arose where nothing really stood there before 

A giant tent rising one thousand feet high from the floor 

Towns people flocked inside with their eyes all amazed 

To greet the Seventh Lord of the seventh age 

A fanfare rang out in an incredible sound 

Bringing out the strangest visions in perfect harmony round 

Any dreams he asked would they like to have seen 

From historical or mythical scenes

Then there above their heads just as vivid as life 

Each vision transported in multitudes inventing light 

Grecian galleons, the sack of Troy, to the Gardens of Babylon 

A play of millions roared along 

The gigantic dreams of Alexander the Great 

Civil wars where brothers fought and killed their friendship in hate 

All seen by Zeus performing scenes of the magical way 

The day the circus came to town 

Outside great animals as tame as the trees 

Angels high in starlight dancing streets 

Tuning their colours with indigo and gold 

Dropping violet, red and emerald snow 

As the circus finally changed its invisible course 

A new world to be found

On the dreamy ground we walked upon 

I turned to my son and said 

'Was that something beautiful, amazing, wonderful, extraordinary 

beautiful?' 

'Oh! It was OK! But there were no clowns, or tigers, or lions, no bears, 

candy-floss, toffee apples, no clowns.'
