I love Blind Guardian's references to different literature and movies. This song is based on the end of The Dark Tower series by Stephen King, and is about the characters Roland the Gunslinger and Jake Chambers.
Another song by Blind Guardian which is also based on that book series is Somewhere Far Beyond, released in an album of the same name.
I had this song playing in the car while we drove home a misty night. it was kinda hard to see and then "light my eyes and i still cant see throug the mist" al the sudden came outa nowere. So good timing.
Ive read the dark tower series Sephiroth93 and it remains my all time favorite epic, the death of Jake, which this song is about, made me cry for Roland
What this song is actually about is the death of one of the main characters in the Dark Tower series by Stephen King. You should go read the series, its one of the best and this song + Somewhere far Beyond capture it perfectly.
