about

This is a very personal song. It's about a bard who has sung songs and told tales all his life. Now at the end of his life, he questions whether his life was as glorious as the heroes of his songs. He realizes despite his low stature, The works he has created bring joy to people and thus will live on through him and he sings one final song for an appreciative audience. I feel that what we, as artists, leave behind is our mark on the world and so we must make these works as great as possible. I feel that this, and every other song on the album is a wonderful legacy we would leave behind.

lyrics

The muse, the muse she visits tonight
Guiding my hand like a thousand times before
Showing the way making visions seem real
Take me away to a place lost in memory

Tell me song of the sirens that sing
Tell me the fire that damnation brings
Tell me the tale of the slumbering king
The songs of our elders have faded away

But I know they'll never return
The price that we've paid we've forgotten our lore
All of my years spent hearing them all
Trying to recount the lost tales

Here at my end, I stand with you all
Trust in my legends that I will live on
Heroes so brave, and victories so bold
Hear of them now in my final song

They gather for me with joy in their hearts
One last adventure my heart has grown cold
The end of my tale brings tears to their eyes
The worlds I've created will never fail

But I know I'll never return
The price that I've paid for remembering our lore
The words I've written, Will outlive us all
And you will remember the lost tales

Here at my end, I stand with you all
Trust in my legends that I will live on
Heroes so brave and victories so bold
They will return all you must do is sing with me
