Castle Ruins

(Ride…)

It conjures images up like the ghosts of yesterday
Here comes that feeling again, maybe this time it’s here to stay

Seems like I’ve been here before the sense of deja vu intrudes
And memories of a bloodier past – rise from still waters…

I see the faces of men who haven’t walked the earth in a thousand years
Their dreams of empire ground to dust

And the souls of the slain at last find vengeance on kings and queens
Their crowns of gold turned to rust…

In the castle ruins beneath a dying sun…The vision came to me more real than any dream

In the castle ruins beneath a dying sun…The vision came to me more real than any dream

I’ll just step back in the past…I’ll just vanish in the mists of time

My armor weighs like stone……My sword is stained with blood…
My horse is slain beneath me……My heart is filled with pain…

Oh, my head it burns like fire…My fists are clenched in rage…
And I feel a sense of loss…My madness overwhelms me…

I’ll just step back in the past…I’ll just vanish in the mists of time

Hallucinations pouring in…Through a rift unto the Other…
Now I’m not divide in two…With tears in my eyes, I embrace my brother

I’ll just step back in the past…I’ll just vanish in the mists of time
