A Princess fears for her brother, and dragons learn the thoughts of Man. Progressive Rock in the way of ELP and YES.

Story behind the song
I have notebooks filled with lyrics and poems from my college days. Going through them recently I caught sight of a story line that would make for a nice Prog Rock CD.
Lyrics
Princess Paranoia Silent, so secure Ruling from a tower In a castle, very cold Time is fleeting…Don’t you know? The Princess never married Love was all in vain Suitors were suspicious Her politics insane Time is fleeting…Don’t you know? Out of the darkness and the frigid dawn A Knight in armor, he shown like the sun A Knight in armor, he shown like the sun War...Peace... Heart...beats... Life...Love... End...Time... She smiled for the first time In many many years Her knight in shining armor Released all her fears Time is fleeting…Don’t you know? Out of the darkness and the frigid dawn A Knight in armor, he shown like the sun She opened her eyes and let him in Her father would be happy The Kingdom would endure Her brother was victorious And home to claim the throne Time is fleeting…Don’t you know? She tossed away her crown And saddled up to go Happy long at last Not living in the Past Time is fleeting Don’t you know?

Something of Dire Straits with Lou Reed...a little bit of Pink Floyd,... Very Cool! It is added to the top of my "prog rock" station and also to our "rock" station!
