Now the final curtain's fallen,
for no show goes on forever,
if the world's a stage - mine's empty.
whilst upon it you'll tread never.
As the instruments lie silent in their coffins made of wood,
I rest assured they'd say these words - If say these words they could;
Whatever happened to the songs - the music that we made,
and the joy we shared together as on me your fingers played?
Are chose symphonies forgotten - with our cases closed and latched'?
Dreams now dusty, old and rotten - empty shells (no strings attached).
Amidst the dying candle-light,
I sit forlorn, alone,
a space once filled with laughter bright,
the place my heart called home
Now the puppets are my company - but wood and straw can't speak;
though it by chance they came to life I'm certain they would weep;
Skyclad sono una band heavy metal britannica con forti influenze folk nella loro musica. Considerati uno dei pionieri del folk metal, il nome deriva da un termine pagano/wiccan per la nudità rituale, in cui i rituali vengono eseguiti con i partecipanti metaforicamente vestiti solo dal cielo, come segno di uguaglianza. Il nome allude sia alle inclinazioni religiose della band che alle loro convinzioni sociali, come espresse nella canzone "Skyclad" sul loro album d'esordio. Il gruppo ha pubblicato una serie di album tra gli anni '90 e il 2000, combinando elementi di heavy metal con melodie folk tradizionali e testi spesso ispirati alla mitologia e alla storia britannica. Tra i brani più rappresentativi si ricordano "The Serpent's Tongue", "The Ballad of the Green Man" e "Skyclad".

My favorite group when I was just a teenager were the Fugees, thanks to them a certain curiosity about english language was born in me. I wanted to know and understand the lyrics of their songs, it wasn't enough for me to be carried away exclusively by their beautiful music.
