Once upon a time, we heard Goliath roar
He was grieving for the angel he would see no more
We longed to see the place where his castle stands today
And it's called the Eyrie Building, and it's on the way
Ohh, to the Gathering

Out on old Manhattan Island, where the gargoyles soar
There was filking in the con suite on the second floor
And the sun set, and the lights in the streets seemed to point the way
To where we sang and laughed together till break of day
Ooh, at The Gathering,
Ooh, at The Gathering.
Oh, sing it...

Solitude again, alone in my home town,
Far from my rookery brothers and my sisters, came a joyful sound
Bright shadows, sounds of thunder raging over me,
Came the message that once more together we would be
Ooh, once more we're Gathering

Well they came, they came, they came, our kin from every land
They came to gather with us, reuniting the worldwide clan
So I took my siblings' hands, I lifted my wings to fly
And a thousand wings returning darkened the New York sky
The New York sky
Ooh, back to The Gathering
Ooh, back to The Gathering
Ooh, back to The Gathering

Back to The Gathering.
The Gathering.
Come with me I'm going back, I'm going back to The Gathering.
I'm going back.
I'm going back.
C'mon
Come with me I'm going back, come with me I'm going back.
Come with me I'm going back, come with me I'm going back.
I'm going back to The Gathering.
Come with me I'm going back.
Come with me, come with me, come with me, come with me.
The Gathering.
I'm going back to The Gathering.

Back to the Gargoyles filk
Back to Toontown
