Dream Sequence
Drifting off into a black space
To a land not far away
I see visions of another world
Where only kings and queens can play
There are jesters in the courtyard
There are dragons all around
I can feel my astral body
Being pulled down to the ground
Suddenly I'm standing
In the corner of a room
Where a princess is preparing
To wed the king of doom
I can see she isn't happy
With her future groom to be
I feel I've got to save her
From a life of misery
I go and stand beside her
I hold my hand up to her face
She turns and looks upon me
With a haunting style and grace
I take her hand and lead her
To a stairway down the hall
Where we use a secret passage
Hidden in the castle wall
It leads us to the courtyard
Where we find a steed of white
We quickly climb upon it
And we ride into the night
****
A man in shining armor
Kicks me from my sleep
He tells me I must fight him
For the honor of his king
I see the princess crying
And shaking with the fear
That fate will turn against her
If I lose the battle here
So I take the sword he hands me
And prepare to make my stand
When I see a flash of silver
Coming from his armored hand
The battle rages onward
For and hour from the start
Till at last I pierce the metal
And stop the beating of his heart
The princess comes to thank me
For the deed that I have done
She says that I'm a hero
With the victory that I've won
She reaches for her necklace
And she gently takes it off
It holds the royal emblem
Of the House of Amberlot
I know she can't go with me
And she knows I cannot stay
So she gives me one last kiss
Before she slowly fades away
****
The morning sun awoke me
With a bright and blinding ray
So I went to close the curtains
And begin a brand new day
As I started getting ready
I thought about my dream
And smiled at the notion
That I might have been a king
When I went to pick my watch up
From the little bedroom stand
I picked up something different
And held it in my hand
What I held was a medallion
Made of gold and finely cut
And the emblem carved upon it.....
... Was from the House of Amberlot
