about

My goal was to create a Romeo & Juliet-esque story, complete with castles, ghosts, and ships. If you're into those things hopefully this song will speak to you.

lyrics

In a castle over lookin’ sea
Came a love that wasn’t meant to be
For he loved the daughter of the lord
Though he knew it’d never be his place
For her hand he’d take a leap of faith

She had been a happy girl
And had what she needed from this world
For her father was the castle’s lord
But when he saw who caught his daughter’s eye
He’d intervene in a way he could deny

A tale as old as time
Two young hearts, set on fire
Kept apart by the hands of fate
For his love she took a leap of Faith

A special mission would be devised
Whose true purpose was disguised
but he answered the call of his lord
A ship would be put out to the test
The lord hoped the coming storm would do the rest

Upon the castle wall she heard his fate
And they still talk about the last leap of Faith

Some have talked about destiny
A castle broken by the sea
The ruin stands above the breaking waves
Her ghost still walks upon the castles brim
You can still hear her call to him

A tale as old as time
Two young hearts, set on fire
Kept apart by the hands of fate
For his love she took a leap of Faith

Now, you can still hear her call to him
Her voice still carries upon the wind
The passing years have brought her no relief
She still sings in the key of grief
