Tonight

Tonight I shall be a storyteller
Speaking of the days of old
Tonight I will be a history maker
Speaking of knights so bold
Tonight you will hear my words and wonder
Tonight you will be amazed
Tonight I will tear your world asunder
And set your hearts, with passion, ablaze
For once we had not ink and pen
Slate and stone took too long
And so we told the stories in the open
From mouths into words and song
Tonight I will remember the times of yesterday
When things were darker, men were led astray
When adventure was the centre of their world
And kings cantered with flags unfurled
Tonight I will tell you of those tales
That over times have been forgotten
Tonight I will tell you of the wails
Coming from the women begotten
