Memories of the Griffin

O King of the land and King of the sky,
Magnificent beast from stories so old,
Remember the times when Griffin did fly.

Look back upon those great guardians of gold,
Hoarding their treasures since time had begun,
Magnificent beasts from stories so old.

India’s most sacred child of the Sun,
Where are you now O’ heraldic Keythong?
Hoarding their treasures since time had begun.

Let us once more listen to your sweet song,
From your great claw let us sip healing dew,
Where are you now O’ heraldic Keythong?

Lord of great strength let your power shine through,
You look down on man and so pity us,
From your great claw let us sip healing dew.

Memories fade of sweet Opinicus,
O King of the land and King of the sky,
You look down on man and so pity us,
Remember the times when Griffin did fly.




if lost magic
filled this humble earth,
would you please fly once more?
