The Elder King; The oldest man
The Dagda was the most ancient of our clan
Generations had called him King
When he spoke all bowed to his authority
A silver mane was his crown
It took three men to replace him when he stepped down
His ancient wisdom still within reach
The Dagda settled into what he could teach
[chorus]
Time is an illusion with a purpose
Some things you must discover for yourself
Nothing’s ever learned until it tests us
Once learned it can never be expelled
Minds forget, but spirit remembers
Nothing is ever really lost in time
Life has ending – so does death
Til the balance of time is satisfied
The teacher teaches in his time
You only learn a lesson when the time is right
This life, next life, last life, three
All rivers flow into the endless sea
