Ye Courtyard Minstrel Boy (Semi-Acoustic) Songtext
von Ayreon

A new horizon
Hear the traveller′s call
Behold: there lies a kingdom
Go forth, ye minstrel tall

Sing of your wisdom, spread tidings of joy
A feast of song and laughter
Ye courtyard minstrel boy

O'dance thee ′round the table
For conquerors and kings
Thou must win the heart of Gwenhwyfar
Fair maiden of the king


Thy lord, thy master
Arthur, thee so bold
Heed the words of Ayreon
And thy future will unfold

Sing ye tales of wonder whilst ye hide behind the joy
Cast thy spell asunder, ye courtyard minstrel boy

Sing ye, oh sing ye, courtyard minstrel boy

A day of splendour; how beautiful birds sing
Ladies, lords and masters and rainbows he would bring

A child's sadness
Sweet dreams, oh princely boy
Let thine eyes reveal the madness, ye courtyard minstrel boy
