[A short poem about the Castle that was home to the lyricists during writing of this album]
700 years of cold nights it's been there 700 years of power fading away Mysteries, enigmas steeped within its walls Secret hidden never to be known
Like a massive Guardian Crouched upon the hill Windows look like eyes Ramparts seem like teeth
A view of all around if sightless eyes could see Industrial madness encroaching on its brief Insidious decay Nothing stops its spread
Don't bring down these walls Don't destroy history These old stones tell us so much To fall would be an end to Serenity, on the hill Serenity, on the hill
See the life on the hills all around Keep destruction at Bay Don't surround us with modern things Let history survive, keep industry away
Warm Summer Nights Moonlight on the walls Worlds are at peace Please, let there be Serenity, on the hill Serenity, on the hill
Listen to the massage, a voice from the past Heed its warning, this monuments won't last Help to stay the plight of these ancient walls Now the time to fight they must not fall
See how they stand So majestical and free Etched on the skyline Our heritage for free Serenity, now's the time Serenity, peace of mind
