7. Castle Walls
[Verse 1]
Once in a dream far beyond these castle walls
Down near the bay where the moonlit water falls
I stood alone while the minstrel sang his song
So afraid I'd lost my soul
[Verse 2]
There in the fog his song kept calling me
Leading me on with its haunting melody
Deep in my heart a voice kept echoing
I knew I'd soon be wandering
[Chorus]
Far beyond these castle walls
Where the distant harbor meets the sky
There the battle raged like hell
And every dove there lost its will to fly
[Instrumental]
Far beyond these castle walls
Where I thought I heard Tiresias say
"Life is never what it seems
And every man must meet his destiny"
Once in a dream far beyond these castle walls
Down near the bay where the moonlit water falls
I stood alone while the minstrel sang his song
So afraid I'd lost my soul
[Verse 2]
There in the fog his song kept calling me
Leading me on with its haunting melody
Deep in my heart a voice kept echoing
I knew I'd soon be wandering
[Chorus]
Far beyond these castle walls
Where the distant harbor meets the sky
There the battle raged like hell
And every dove there lost its will to fly
[Instrumental]
Far beyond these castle walls
Where I thought I heard Tiresias say
"Life is never what it seems
And every man must meet his destiny"
