Story behind the song
Primera (y original) version del tema probablemente mas emblematico de Ancient Tales. Envolvente y evocador, interpretado por la expresiva y bella voz de Manuel Casas. Estilo tipicamente pop-rock gotico, en donde predominan las guitarras distorsionadas, un bajo tenaz y teclados atmosfericos. El texto, haciendo honor al nombre de la banda, relata una historia medieval, la de Sir Percival, y describe paisajes con catedrales, bosques y espiritus. Texto en ingles. Musica: Ancient Tales texto: Manuel Casas
Lyrics
“There is a moment when I close my eyes, she comes around me and kisses my hands, the dance goes on and I begin to float, she kisses my face and I drink the draught. I stumble and fall, she’s running with the hare and hunts with the hounds. Sir Perceval has fallen tonight in love with a spirit with unholy eyes, he stood alone in the cathedral, Perceval’s ghost disappeared between the trees. He stumbles and falls, she’s running with the hare and hunts with the hounds. Running, and the flutists, they do not play now” *** “Hay un momento en que cierro los ojos, ella me rodea y besa mis manos, el baile continua y comienzo a flotar, ella besa mi rostro y yo bebo la pocion… Me tambaleo y caigo, ella es cazador y presa a la vez! Sir Percival se ha enamorado esta noche de un espiritu con ojos impios, permanecio solo en la Catedral, el fantasma de Percival desaparecio entre los arboles… Corriendo, y los flautistas han cesado de tocar...”
