Dreams of fate are calling me back I hear the howling of the wind Shelter now, and weather the storm A tale of legend shall begin Of demons, wizards, and once mighty kings Swords of steel drawn in the night This tale beyond the shackles of time Of those who would stand up and fight Chorus Sit now by the fire And quaff your mug of ale Gather ‘round and listen To an old bard’s tale In the song of swords was forged his path In the strangeness of magick he did arrive Tried in battle, and crossed by time A warrior left mystified Chorus So now, while the fire grows dim The poet, he lifts the veil Rest a while, my friends, and listen To an old bard’s tale
