Story Behind the Song
a combination of a little tale i wrote and a sound i like
Lyrics
as the knight came, the night soon followed
his journey brought him here, as he has searched long for the gates
he fought many battle to open them and passed through many more
he was slowly getting old, and his sword felt heavy
the gates of these old caves up the mountain had been his desire of this day
a peasant asked him why he did all this, as the stories only told about the
battles and death but never answered the why.
the knight looked down from his tall black horse, and only spoke these tired words
"behind the gates i will find shelter from the night"
then the peasant asked, "why should that old gate be the one you seek,
those caves have not been used for many generations"
but the knight only looked up the mountain for a moment,
and then commanded his horse to move on.
the peasant never saw the knight again. but the night stayed, and the people
moved away from the village,
leaving until today only ruins and sand.
