Kayak - The Otherworld

Kayak - The Otherworld, from the album: Merlin: Bard of the Unseen. Sorry for the lack of pictures and info, I really don't know too much about Kayak, other than that they are a dutch progrock band, and their keyboard player (Ton Scherpenzeel) has played quite a lot for Camel.
NOTE: The song doesn't really start before three minutes, so be patient!

Lyrics:

Magic is the door through which mortal men may sometimes step to find the gates of the Otherworld

Great Lady of Ravens
Mistress of the House of Maidens
Leading the way to the gates of the Otherworld
Hidden to all but the faithful
Open to none but the greatful
Where a hundred years can pass in a night

Virgins of the Holy Well
Dance around the Beltane Fires
Steal your heart and cast their spell
Guide you when the need is dire

Oh Mother of Mysteries
Queen of ancient realms of faery
Showing the way to the gates of the Otherworld
Hidden to all but the faithful
Open to none but the grateful
A place seldom seen by mortal eyes

>>camelandU2<< Thanks for posting such a grand piece! No need to appologize for the lengthy start. Good progressve music starts at 0:01, not necessarily when the lyrics begin. That's too top-40-1960ish. They do give songs great focus & meaning, but words are as important an instrumental as any sound in a tune. Prog on! Thanks again!!!

@JPFreshProg No problem! I uploaded this video a long time ago, and back then I feared people would get bored... I don't anymore :)

Pim Koopman, the author of this beautiful song, passed away yesterday. My condolences go out to his bandmates, friends, and his family. He will be greatly missed in the music world.
