[Verse 1]
See dark shadows
On the walls
See the pictures
Some hang, some fall
And the painted faces all in a line

[Pre-Chorus]
And the painted ladies
Yeah, the painted ladies

[Chorus]
Through the mists of time (Ah-ah-ah, ah-ah-ah)
The mists of time (Ah-ah-ah, ah-ah-ah)
Of the restless kind (Ah-ah-ah, ah-ah-ah)
Through the mists of time
On a magic ride
Through the mists of time (Ah-ah-ah, ah-ah-ah)
(Ah-ah-ah, ah-ah-ah)

[Verse 2]
Hear the whisper
Of the whirlwind
Monster shadows
A light gone dim
Dark horses
Roam in my sleep
Mystic voices
Conjure up our dreams
[Pre-Chorus]
And the painted ladies
Yeah, the painted ladies

[Chorus]
Through the mists of time (Ah-ah-ah, ah-ah-ah)
The mists of time (Ah-ah-ah, ah-ah-ah)
Of the restless kind (Ah-ah-ah, ah-ah-ah)
Through the mists of time
On a magic ride
Through the mists of time

[Guitar Solo]

[Bridge]
(Ha-ah-ah, ha-ah-ah, ha-ah-ah, ha-ah-ah)
And the painted faces (Ha-ah-ah, ha-ah-ah)
Looking so divine (Ha-ah-ah, ha-ah-ah)

[Chorus]
Through the mists of time (Ha-ah-ah, ha-ah-ah)
The mists of time (Ha-ah-ah, ha-ah-ah)
Of the restless kind (Ha-ah-ah, ha-ah-ah)
Through the mists of time (Ha-ah-ah, ha-ah-ah)
On a magic ride (Ha-ah-ah, ha-ah-ah)
Searchin' for a sign (Ha-ah-ah, ha-ah-ah)
Through the mists of time (Ha-ah-ah, ha-ah-ah)
The mists of time, time
