Only to speak about in whispers of the dark
You're on the way that anxious have lost
Threatened by sanity
Reason laughs with vanity
Fiery moon in the sky
You can't wait to face it
Your heart is racing
Edguy - The Realms of Baba Yaga
I grew up on tales of King Arthur, King David, Hercules, Audie Murphy and other heroes. In regards to heroic deeds and tales of those who dare to take up the mantle of hero and walk that lonely path, I have never grown weary of hearing such tales. So much so that I now wish to put heroic deeds in writing myself. It is an homage of sorts. I loved Beowulf in school when others disdained that epic read. Homer's Illiad and Odyssey is another great read. I spend days enthralled by The Scarlet Pimpernel. The list can go on and on.
The world needs heroes. We need to see the heights to which we can attain and a hero gives us that.
The inspiration for the title of this blog, as you can see, comes from that song by one of my favorite bands. Edguy! If you like rock/metal check them out.
