A bit of a look at where "The Tale" comes from . . .
Lyrics
In My Mind
In my mind, there is graveyard, full of dead and dying dreams
The life I’ve lived, the love I give, nothing is really as it seems
It’s been a good ride, I’ve seen a lot, this black hearts been loved again and again
So many miles, what’s left to go? Hope it’s not more of this never ending pain
Yet I found there’s a story in me, that I really need to tell
Behind the light, hidden in the darkness, like an ancient spell
Look in my eyes, if you dare, see the story yet to be told
Voices calling, as if from air, bringing me a tale of Aulde
Where did it come from, this story of mine, what lost tale did I find?
Why was I chosen, to bring to you, the dark visions in my mind?
It started out, just by chance, a clear vision brought on in a trance
An old friend from long ago, known to me but not a romance
What was the connection, I did not know, but I knew the face looking at me
In a score of heartbeats, she was gone, leaving me to wonder, what did I see?
All I knew, was something awoke, deep inside my mind
Without a word, the Muse had spoken, leaving me to see and find
Look in my eyes, if you dare, see the story yet to be told
Voices calling, as if from air, bringing me a tale of Aulde
Where did it come from, this story of mine, what lost tale did I find?
Why was I chosen, to bring to you, the dark visions in my mind?
The story grew, through the years, forcing me to face all my fears
I did not know, I was part of the Tale, my only hope was that I would not fail.
She never left me, this Muse of mine, but I did not see her face again
Like a sunrise, my Lady’s voice, whispers to me, soft as Summers rain
So now I know, why she came, what she brought to me
A dark tale, from olden times, to feed my mind and set me free.
Look in my eyes, if you dare, see the story yet to be told
Voices calling, as if from air, bringing me a tale of Aulde
Where did it come from, this story of mine, what lost tale did I find?
Why was I chosen, to bring to you, the dark visions in my mind?
