	Story Behind the Song Is everyone afraid of the dark? Here is a woman who gets her power from the dark but there is more to her than meets the eye Lyrics She sits upon her throne of rushes by the swirling foam Her jesters sit at either hand so she is not alone Her gown is made of darkness stitched by her kind long ago She is called Black Angel and she comes from Baladorn She is as cold as the North wind, her power is known far and wide The elves, the dwarfs and the mortal folk, all fear if she passes by No one tries to understand that some stay cold to survive Behind her gown of darkness, she is full of light Minstrels sing quietly in corners, children play games with strings of beads The Elders they sit amongst their tables, exchanging memories of heroes and their deeds The Queen is deep in contemplation yet she looks upon her subjects with a smile She is proud of these her people and their legends handed down in time Lark’s cry cuts the stillness bringing tidings of the coming day She gathers her court around her and they are silent wishing to obey Now the sun is rising, light hits her face and she frowns Again they make their journey, to the land called Baladorn
