One of my favourite bands of all time, with one of my favourite songs of all time...SyX FAN FOR LIFE!!!

I think it suits the painting...funny that someone else had the same idea, and posted it onto the tube with just the painting we spoke of :D

Enjoy:)

Symphony X - The Accolade

Music: Romeo-Pinnella-Miller
Lyrics: Allen
Into the morning sun
Down his chosen road he
rides to save the world
Cross of crimson, robe of white
Sworn to the quest for
the rest of his life
Play shields and wooden swords
Slaying dragons as a knight
of Arthur's Court
Trained to kill, to sing a song
Youthful hope to right the wrong
Sons of Antioch
An angel's voice cries out to him
Free the holy lands, bring
peace to it again

[CHORUS:]
Across the seas through sands of time
Knight of the Templar
A charging steed through lands unkind
A legend forever
A heart of gold pumps
within his metal skin
A noble line he carries on

[SOLO:]
Braving the bloody din
Silver spurs are justly
earned by strenght within
Squire to knight, like prince to king
Chalice of life completes the ring
Into the morning sun
Down his chosen road he
rides to save the world

[CHORUS:]
Across the seas through sands of time
Knight of the Templar
A charging steed through lands unkind
A legend forever

[CHORUS:]
Across the seas through sands of time
Knight of the Templar
A charging steed through lands unkind
A legend forever
To see the light he spent
his life to understand
The sword he once held
tight, falls forever from
his hands

[CHORUS:]
Across the seas through sands of time
Knight of the Templar
A charging steed through lands unkind
A legend forever

[CHORUS:]
Across the seas through sands of time
Knight of the Templar
A charging steed through lands unkind
A legend forever

Thanks Kai, I think you are right. That song is the perfect match! The coincidence is funny. When I saw it, I thought you had "whipped up" a version with the painting.
