Gormenghast

The darkness winds between the ancient stars
That light the sky
The stars are bright but doomed to die
And far below the brooding castle lies
The crumbling towers, they too must die
But deep inside… a baby cries
The infant boy must learn the rules of life
How things must be, too young to see
He holds the key
But soon the child begins to grow
A prince to rule
A web of stone
He feels alone… Gormenghast
And time continues endlessly
The boy becomes a man
He must escape the fate which he begun
The nights prolong, the days are gone
The darkness is as one
But through the shadows' Titus sees the Sun
So jumping on his horse he rode away
They watched him go
Their faces grey, and it was day
Off he rides toward the world
He’s left his past, his steed is fast
He’s free at last… Gormenghast
