letra de vienna (narration) - trans-siberian orchestra

the composer then looked at the child
who smiled but did not speak
and then the child faded into the dark of the past
where the darkness is always deep
and beethoven turned back to fate
who had always been close by
and told her what he wanted changed
so that his fate could be defied
“i did not need a teacher
who taught with the back of his hand
while the music i was dreaming
he could never understand”
fate said
“these moments of your life i’ll change”
“but there is a warning i must give
to change one moment of a life
can change how that life is lived
like the gears inside a clock
one moment turns another
remove from a wall a single block
and sometimes that whole wall will shudder
the pain you felt through childhood
would now seem to have no worth
but it was the salve you sought to ease that pain
that gave your sixth symphony birth
so, before i grant this wish
and this tale you later tell
know that these wounds will disappear
but so will your sixth symphony, as well
so now that you know all that will be changed
including things far out of view
when your decision has been made
tell me what it is you would have me do?”
fate did not have long to wait
for the answer was clear upon his face
his childhood would retain its tears
and his sixth symphony would retain its place
fate then said they should move on
for their time was growing short
and then asked where he had been happiest?
and she watched as he followed that thought
for a moment there was a glitter
somewhere beyond his stare
in a time when days were not bitter
and she found vienna there
which brings us all, my friends
to the next chapter in our story
as they watched beethoven as a young man
arriving in vienna with all its glory
