Yes they're real (no they can't be)
Yes they are, I've seen them walking
Out beyond the wooded garden, through the town, and through the valley

Yes they're real (no they can't be)
Yes they are -- you are not hearing
For I say I've seen them drinking in the tavern of the moon

Chorus:	Steel and mail and gilded crossbow
	Feather of the ancient windbird
	Wide as wonder, tall as starlight
	Lords of earth and lords of fire
	Life the love that they desire
	Lords of earth and lords of fire
	Life the love that they desire

Yes they're real (no they can't be)
Come with me, and see what might be
(I'm afraid!) O you are childish
Nothing kills that does not know ye

Come ye now (no I fear thee)
Did I say that I would lead thee?
(We have walked too far this night out beyond the firelight!)
Come ye now (no I fear thee)
Come with me, for I will take ye
Dancing now with all my brothers
I am real and like the others

Yes they're real -- "no," you told me
"Yes," I said, "you should believe me"
Now we have you, wrapped in darkness
Now we keep you, never leaving
Trade your life for not believing

(Chorus)
