Renaissance Faire Lyrics


I was told once by a friend of mine
She had seen an olden sign
Said she was not from this time
And did I feel the same?
So I told her, yes, I knew her fears
As I felt the truth draw near
Told her back three hundred years
Was the time that I held dear
Gather ye lords and ladies fair
Come with me to the Renaissance Faire
Hurry now, we're almost there
Fa, la, la, la, la, la, la,la, la, la
Through the shroud of mystery
Turn a page of history
Feeling more than you can see
Down at the Renaissance Faire
Hear the minstrels play their tunes
They will play the whole night through

Special songs for me and for you
And anyone whose heart is true
Gather ye lords and ladies fair
Come with me to the Renaissance Faire
Hurry now, we're almost there
Fa, la, la, la, la, la, la,la, la, la
There's too many stars for one sky to hold
Some will fall, others are sold
As the fields turn to gold
Down at the Renaissance Faire
Gather ye lords and ladies fair
Come with me to the Renaissance Faire
Hurry now, we're almost there
Fa, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la
Gather ye lords and ladies fair
Come with me to the Renaissance Faire
Hurry now, we're almost there
Fa, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la
Come with me to the Renaissance Faire
Fa, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la
Come with me to the Renaissance Faire
Fa, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la
Come with me to the Renaissance Faire

Blackmore's Night is an English Renaissance-inspired medieval folk rock band led by UK guitarist Ritchie Blackmore (electric and acoustic guitars) and Candice Night (lyricist and lead vocals).

The origins of the band lie in 1990 when Candice was working at a local New York rock music radio station, and as part of her work first encountered Ritchie (now ex-Deep Purple/Rainbow guitarist), then with Deep Purple, at a soccer game he was playing in. The two became romantically entwined and discovered that they shared a passionate interest in the Renaissance.

After leaving Deep Purple in 1993 and recording an album as Ritchie Blackmore's Rainbow called Stranger in Us All in 1995, on which Candice contributed backing vocals, Ritchie became interested in the idea of bringing Renaissance music to a contemporary audience. The effervescent personality of Candice and her singing talent made her the natural choice as "frontman". In 1997 the pair were ready to launch the band, the name being a pun of their own names, and which would consist of themselves plus session musicians.

Debut album Shadow Of The Moon was an instant success, most notably in Europe. In subsequent albums, particularly Fires at midnight, there was an increased incorporation of rock guitar into the music, whilst maintaining a folk rock direction. Over time, Candice has increasingly participated instrumentally as well as singing the vocals, and is competent in a wide variety of Renaissance instruments.

The group performs at Renaissance Fairs and Renaissance Festivals, as well as in stand-alone concert tours in appropriate venues including 'castle tours' of Europe, where they perform in historic surroundings for an audience dressed largely in period costume. The band has been successful enough to inspire a tribute band called Renaissance Night.

Their 2006 album, Village Lanterne, contains of more rock songs than earlier albums, including covers of Street of Dreams (Rainbow), Child in Time (Deep Purple), St Theresa (Joan Osborne) and Streets of London (Ralph McTell).

On June 27, 2008, the band's latest album, Secret Voyage, was released.
