	Story Behind the Song Mondo invented the "Cantonove" as a formal form of folk song which incorporates poetry and a separate hook section and finally a "moral of the story section" All blend together to make an etherial ballad. So far there are at least five cantonoves. This is the First. Lyrics When the ice is gone, and the sea is open and gold secrets breaking gently but still remain untold When the sleeping swan moves out spreading its wings Take me by the hand and say, oh will you come my way? Morn, crimson beacon shine As you recall the hour when the light streamed in flaming win Morn, staining red the stone Into a challice pour and illusion of roses Tell the faces on the shores one by one of the glory through the doors I have found Myself and solitude are old friends Freed of glass and steel, I find no end.
