                      A Past and Future Secret
              ---------------------------------------
                taken from the Blind Guardian album 
                 "Imaginations from the other side"

This song is taken from the BG album "Imaginations from the other side" and
I think it is the best ballad Blind Guardian had ever done but also I think
that the lyrics are very bad. I tried to translate it and I didn't really
understand what Hansi will say with these song. The music part is very 
difficult and very (!) good. The text is something about the artus legend
but I think Hansi has a better interpretation for this song as I as I 
translated it. If someone wanna have the german version send a request to
me and I will send you the lyrics. 
So long, sleep well my friend :)
