6. The Mindsong (5:38)
After the hunt,
In the heat of the day,
The Emperor rested
From the gruelling chase

As he closed his eyes
And gave in to his dreams
His mind took him
Over mountains and streams

To the fairest of islands ever known
Through the gates of a mighty keep
To an old king on an ivory throne
And a maiden on a golden seat

His closed eyes had never seen
A maiden more fair than She

As he kneeled beside her gilded chair
She softly sang into his ear

"Emperor of Rome,
You know I am real
Let me love you
Beyond your dream"

Alas right there and then
The emperor's sleep came to an end

"It's better to be alone", he thought
"I have wars to wage, battles to fight
Love always leads to pain and loss"
But the maiden's song stuck in his mind

"Emperor of Rome,
You know I am real
If you love me
You'll come to me"

He searched the lands
And gave in to his dream
His quest took him
Over mountains and streams

To the British islands he would roam
Through the gates of a towering keep
There sat an old king on an ivory throne
And a maiden on a golden seat

His open eyes had never seen
A maiden more fair than She

As he kneeled beside her gilded chair
He softly sang into her ear

"Empress of Rome,
I knew you were real
Let me love you
Beyond my dreams"
