THE BARD'S SONG - Blind Guardian
A mesmerizing ballad by one of my favorite metal bands. This is their signature song. I was introduced to Blind Guardian a few years back when Daughter#1 too young to go to a gig in Athens by herself, asked me to accompany her because she just HAD to see them. We went and it was an amazing show. I was overwhelmed by the audience's energy. Nothing like an entire concert hall of people going from head-bannging (A.Lot.Of.It) to swaying back and forth to this tune. Magical.



Now You all know
The bards and their songs
When hours have gone by
I'll close my eyes
In a world far away
We may meet again
But now hear my song
About the dawn of the night
Let's sing the bards' song

Ref.:
Tomorrow will take us away
Far from home
No one will ever know our names
But the bards' songs will remain
Tomorrow will take it away
The fear of today
It will be gone
Due to our magic songs

There's only one song
Left in my mind
Tales of a brave man
Who lived far from here
Now the bard songs are over
And it's time to leave
No one should ask you for the name
Of the one
Who tells the story

Ref.:
Tomorrow will take us away
Far from home
No one will ever know our names
But the bards' songs will remain
Tomorrow all will be known
And You're not alone
So don't be afraid
In the dark and cold
'Cause the bards' songs will remain
They all will remain

In my thoughts and in my dreams
They're always in my mind
These songs of hobbits, dwarves and men
And elves
Come close Your eyes
You can see them, too
