Story behind the song
"Castles and Kings" takes an ancient melody, originally sung in Latin, and gives it wholly new lyrics and subject matter - it's about a girl who dreams of the valiant days of olden times - times that never were, really: Valiant knights in shining armor, dragons winging upon arcane errands… of castles, and kings.
- Alan Kim Cochran
Lyrics
And she walks in the light by silent streams and
dreams of heros bold, and castles and kings
And she walks in the light by silent streams and
dreams of heros bold, and castles and kings
Ivory-colored stallions flashing in the Twilight
Knights in silver, dragon-joust, bats on wing by moonlight
And she walks in the light by silent streams and
dreams of heros bold, and castles and kings
And she walks in the light by silent streams and
dreams of heros bold, and castles and kings
Silk and lace and linen fine, bodice, tress and halter
Galant men in raiment white, maidens at the altar
And she walks in the light by silent streams and
dreams of heros bold, and castles and kings
And she walks in the light by silent streams and
dreams of heros bold, and castles and kings
Secret tryst upon the night, meets her lover fair
Caress in the candlelight, dance upon the air
And she walks in the light by silent streams and
dreams of heros bold, and castles and kings
And she walks in the light by silent streams and
dreams of heros bold, and castles and kings
Muse upon the azure skies, ‘every star to see
Fast within her lover’s arms, virgin bride to be
And she walks in the light by silent streams and
dreams of heros bold, and castles and kings
And she walks in the light by silent streams and
dreams of heros bold, and castles and kings….
And she walks in the light by silent streams and
dreams of heros bold, and castles and kings
And she walks in the light by silent streams and
dreams of heros bold, and castles and kings….
