Once in a dream
Far beyond these castle walls
Down near the bay
Where the moonlit water falls
I stood alone
While the minstrels sang their song
So afraid I'd lost my soul

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

Far beyond these castle walls
Where the distant harbor meets the sky
There the battle raged like hell
And every dove had 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
