Inside Westminster Abbey - The Most famous church | UK Parliament || Documentary english subtitles
Westminster Abbey is the heart of London; the seat of true power in Great Britain and the place where modern democracy is born. The rich group of architectural treasures on the north bank of the river Thames - Parliament, Westminster Abbey and the clock tower known as 'Big Ben' - bears witness to one thousand years of power struggle between Crown and People. With unprecedented access we delve deep into the corridors of power to discover their secrets.
In Secrets of Westminster Abbey , viewers see the hidden areas of London’s House of Commons, House of Lords and Westminster Abbey. Throughout its history, Westminster has embodied stories of power struggles and tradition.
As one of the world’s most famous churches, Westminster Abbey is steeped in Anglo-Saxon myths and legends dating back to the 11th century. Viewers are privy to a behind-the-scenes tour to one of the most memorable vantage points of this architectural masterpiece, the site of the coronations of every English monarch since 1066. The film charts the brazen heist of the Stone of Destiny, part of the famous Coronation Chair, first used by Edward the Confessor in 1296. The theft, on Christmas Eve in 1950, made international headlines. Scotsman Ian Hamilton reveals how he and others planned and carried out the theft, then returned the storied stone in time for Queen Elizabeth II’s coronation.
Secrets of Westminster Abbey also provides access to the Houses of Parliament, both the House of Lords and the House of Commons. Here, intrigue, pageantry and customs, including why a monarch is never allowed into the House of Commons, are the order of the day. A tour of the iconic bell tower of Big Ben showcases this iconic symbol and explains the origin of its nickname and the mystery of its distinct tone. Victoria Tower holds priceless Acts of Parliament, documents that record 500 years of British history, including the Stamp Act that eventually led to colonial America’s rebellion.

Big Ben ~ The Palace of Westminster : London STRIKES 12
Big Ben is the nickname for the great bell of the clock at the north end of the Palace of Westminster in London,[1] and often extended to refer to the clock and the clock tower,[2] officially named the Elizabeth Tower, as well. Elizabeth Tower holds the largest four-faced chiming clock in the world and is the third-tallest free-standing clock tower.[3] It celebrated its 150th anniversary on 31 May 2009,[4] during which celebratory events took place.[5][6] The tower was completed in 1858 and has become one of the most prominent symbols of both London and England, often in the establishing shot of films set in the city.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Big_Ben
The Palace of Westminster is the meeting place of the House of Commons and the House of Lords, the two houses of the Parliament of the United Kingdom. Commonly known as the Houses of Parliament after its tenants, the Palace lies on the Middlesex bank of the River Thames in the City of Westminster, in central London. Its name, which derives from the neighbouring Westminster Abbey, may refer to either of two structures: the Old Palace, a medieval building complex that was destroyed by fire in 1834, and its replacement New Palace that stands today. For ceremonial purposes, the palace retains its original style and status as a royal residence.
The first royal palace was built on the site in the eleventh century, and Westminster was the primary London residence of the Kings of England until a fire destroyed much of the complex in 1512. After that, it served as the home of Parliament, which had been meeting there since the thirteenth century, and the seat of the Royal Courts of Justice, based in and around Westminster Hall. In 1834, an even greater fire ravaged the heavily rebuilt Houses of Parliament, and the only structures of significance to survive were Westminster Hall, the Cloisters of St Stephen's, the Chapel of St Mary Undercroft and the Jewel Tower.

Annie Furlong describes the moment her Great, Great, Great, Great Grandfather, Patrick Furlong and his fellow labourer, Joshua Cross accidentally caused the third largest fire in London's history (after the Great Fire and the Blitz), the burning of the palace of Westminster which was witnessed by thousands of people, including Charles Dickens and Turner, both of whom chronicled the moment through their famed talents.
Annie is nine years old and acquired special permission from her headteacher to take the day off school so that she could learn more about the effect her ancestor's mistake made on England's history.
With thanks to Caroline Shenton for her tour and education.
Please note, a correction to the painting in the Tate, it is actually a watercolour by Turner named "The Burning of the Houses of Parliament". "The Burning of the Houses of Lords and Commons" is the title of two oil on canvas paintings, the one used in this video is held by the Philadelphia Museum of Art - more information on these two paintings can be found here http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Burning_of_the_Houses_of_Lords_and_Commons

Westminster (/ˈwɛsᵗmɪnstər/) is an area of central London within the City of Westminster on the north bank of the River Thames. Westminster's concentration of visitor attractions and historic landmarks, one of the highest in London, includes the Palace of Westminster, Buckingham Palace, Westminster Abbey and Westminster Cathedral.
Historically the area lay within St Margaret's parish, City & Liberty of Westminster, Middlesex.
The name Westminster originated from the informal description of the abbey church and royal peculiar of St Peter's (Westminster Abbey), literally West of the City of London, indeed until the Reformation there was a reference to the 'East Minster' at Minories (Holy Trinity Priory, Aldgate) east of the City; the abbey was part of the royal palace that had been created here by Edward the Confessor. It has been the home of the permanent institutions of England's government continuously since about 1200 (High Middle Ages' Plantagenet times) and is now the seat of British government.

The rich group of architectural treasures on the north bank of the river Thames - Parliament, Westminster Abbey and the clock tower known as 'Big Ben' - bears witness to one thousand years of power struggle between Crown and People. With unprecedented access we delve deep into the corridors of power to discover their secrets.
In Secrets of Westminster Abbey , viewers see the hidden areas of London’s House of Commons, House of Lords and Westminster Abbey. Throughout its history, Westminster has embodied stories of power struggles and tradition.
As one of the world’s most famous churches, Westminster Abbey is steeped in Anglo-Saxon myths and legends dating back to the 11th century. Viewers are privy to a behind-the-scenes tour to one of the most memorable vantage points of this architectural masterpiece, the site of the coronations of every English monarch since 1066. The film charts the brazen heist of the Stone of Destiny, part of the famous Coronation Chair, first used by Edward the Confessor in 1296. The theft, on Christmas Eve in 1950, made international headlines. Scotsman Ian Hamilton reveals how he and others planned and carried out the theft, then returned the storied stone in time for Queen Elizabeth II’s coronation.
Secrets of Westminster Abbey also provides access to the Houses of Parliament, both the House of Lords and the House of Commons.

A tour of the iconic bell tower of Big Ben showcases this iconic symbol and explains the origin of its nickname and the mystery of its distinct tone.

Victoria Tower holds priceless Acts of Parliament, documents that record 500 years of British history, including the Stamp Act that eventually led to colonial America’s rebellion.

Big Ben ~ The Palace of Westminster : London STRIKES 12
Big Ben is the nickname for the great bell of the clock at the north end of the Palace of Westminster in London,[1] and often extended to refer to the clock and the clock tower,[2] officially named the Elizabeth Tower, as well. Elizabeth Tower holds the largest four-faced chiming clock in the world and is the third-tallest free-standing clock tower.[3] It celebrated its 150th anniversary on 31 May 2009,[4] during which celebratory events took place.[5][6] The tower was completed in 1858 and has become one of the most prominent symbols of both London and England, often in the establishing shot of films set in the city.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Big_Ben
The Palace of Westminster is the meeting place of the House of Commons and the House of Lords, the two houses of the Parliament of the United Kingdom. Commonly known as the Houses of Parliament after its tenants, the Palace lies on the Middlesex bank of the River Thames in the City of Westminster, in central London. Its name, which derives from the neighbouring Westminster Abbey, may refer to either of two structures: the Old Palace, a medieval building complex that was destroyed by fire in 1834, and its replacement New Palace that stands today. For ceremonial purposes, the palace retains its original style and status as a royal residence.
The first royal palace was built on the site in the eleventh century, and Westminster was the primary London residence of the Kings of England until a fire destroyed much of the complex in 1512. After that, it served as the home of Parliament, which had been meeting there since the thirteenth century, and the seat of the Royal Courts of Justice, based in and around Westminster Hall. In 1834, an even greater fire ravaged the heavily rebuilt Houses of Parliament, and the only structures of significance to survive were Westminster Hall, the Cloisters of St Stephen's, the Chapel of St Mary Undercroft and the Jewel Tower.

Annie Furlong describes the moment her Great, Great, Great, Great Grandfather, Patrick Furlong and his fellow labourer, Joshua Cross accidentally caused the third largest fire in London's history (after the Great Fire and the Blitz), the burning of the palace of Westminster which was witnessed by thousands of people, including Charles Dickens and Turner, both of whom chronicled the moment through their famed talents.
Annie is nine years old and acquired special permission from her headteacher to take the day off school so that she could learn more about the effect her ancestor's mistake made on England's history.
With thanks to Caroline Shenton for her tour and education.
Please note, a correction to the painting in the Tate, it is actually a watercolour by Turner named "The Burning of the Houses of Parliament". "The Burning of the Houses of Lords and Commons" is the title of two oil on canvas paintings, the one used in this video is held by the Philadelphia Museum of Art - more information on these two paintings can be found here http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Burning_of_the_Houses_of_Lords_and_Commons

50 Things to do in London Travel Guide | Top Attractions London City Guide Transcript:
So Hello from London! Time for a new destination. This is a city that I haven't visited in almost 4 years. So we're both very excited to be in London. And we're going to be making a little video guide. Actually a really big video guide because we plan on showing you 50 different things to do around London.
Our first stop was Trafalgar Square. This square leads to a lot of central attractions, so it's a nice place to people watch, get your bearings, and plan out where you want to go in the city.
The London Eye is a giant Ferris wheel on the South Bank of the Thames. It offers a bird's eye view of the city.
Buckingham Palace has served as the official London residence for Britain's sovereigns since 1837. The State Rooms at Buckingham Palace are open to visitors every year.
The Palace of Westminster, also known as the Houses of Parliament, is the meeting place of the House of Commons and the House of Lords. The Palace along with Big Ben are two of the top London attractions that dot the city-scape.
The Tower of London sits on the north bank of the River Thames.
And that's a wrap for London! Like with any mega city, it's impossible to cover all the sights and attractions you can enjoy here, but hopefully this video will give you an idea of what London has to offer.
This is part of our Travel in England series showcasing English culture, English foods, English cuisine and English people.

50 Things to do in London Travel Guide | Top Attractions London City Guide Transcript:
So Hello from London! Time for a new destination. This is a city that I haven't visited in almost 4 years. So we're both very excited to be in London. And we're going to be making a little video guide. Actually a really big video guide because we plan on showing you 50 different things to do around London.
Our first stop was Trafalgar Square. This square leads to a lot of central attractions, so it's a nice place to people watch, get your bearings, and plan out where you want to go in the city.
The London Eye is a giant Ferris wheel on the South Bank of the Thames. It offers a bird's eye view of the city.
Buckingham Palace has served as the official London residence for Britain's sovereigns since 1837. The State Rooms at Buckingham Palace are open to visitors every year.
The Palace of Westminster, also known as the Houses of Parliament, is the meeting place of the House of Commons and the House of Lords. The Palace along with Big Ben are two of the top London attractions that dot the city-scape.
The Tower of London sits on the north bank of the River Thames.
And that's a wrap for London! Like with any mega city, it's impossible to cover all the sights and attractions you can enjoy here, but hopefully this video will give you an idea of what London has to offer.
This is part of our Travel in England series showcasing English culture, English foods, English cuisine and English people.

London Palace of Westminster Tour Travel Destinations | Palace of Westminster Destinations Video 2015
The Palace of Westminster is the meeting place of the House of Commons and the House of Lords, the two houses of the Parliament of the United Kingdom. Commonly known as the Houses of Parliament after its tenants, the Palace lies on the Middlesex bank of the River Thames in the City of Westminster, in central London. Its name, which derives from the neighbouring Westminster Abbey, may refer to either of two structures: the Old Palace, a medieval building complex that was destroyed by fire in 1834, and its replacement New Palace that stands today. For ceremonial purposes, the palace retains its original style and status as a royal residence.
The first royal palace was built on the site in the eleventh century, and Westminster was the primary London residence of the Kings of England until a fire destroyed much of the complex in 1512. After that, it served as the home of Parliament, which had been meeting there since the thirteenth century, and the seat of the Royal Courts of Justice, based in and around Westminster Hall. In 1834, an even greater fire ravaged the heavily rebuilt Houses of Parliament, and the only structures of significance to survive were Westminster Hall, the Cloisters of St Stephen's, the Chapel of St Mary Undercroft and the Jewel Tower.
The subsequent competition for the reconstruction of the Palace was won by architect Charles Barry and his design for a building in the Perpendicular Gothic style. The remains of the Old Palace (with the exception of the detached Jewel Tower) were incorporated in its much larger replacement, which contains over 1,100 rooms organised symmetrically around two series of courtyards. Part of the New Palace's area of 3.24 hectares (8 acres) was reclaimed from the Thames, which is the setting of its principal façade, the 266-metre (873 ft) river front. Barry was assisted by Augustus W. N. Pugin, a leading authority on Gothic architecture and style, who provided designs for the decoration and furnishings of the Palace. Construction started in 1840 and lasted for thirty years, suffering great delays and cost overruns, as well as the death of both leading architects; works for the interior decoration continued intermittently well into the twentieth century. Major conservation work has been carried out since, to reverse the effects of London's air pollution, and extensive repairs took place after the Second World War, including the reconstruction of the Commons Chamber following its bombing in 1941.
The Palace is one of the centres of political life in the United Kingdom; "Westminster" has become a metonym for the UK Parliament, and the Westminster system of government has taken its name after it. The Elizabeth Tower, in particular, which is often referred to by the name of its main bell, "Big Ben", is an iconic landmark of London and the United Kingdom in general, one of the most popular tourist attractions in the city and an emblem of parliamentary democracy. The Palace of Westminster has been a Grade I listed building since 1970 and part of a UNESCO World Heritage Site since 1987.

A trip to London might as well be a trip through history. This city has long been a hub for finance, education, and culture, and is full of modern construction mixed with ancient buildings.
Your London tour must include St. Paul’s Cathedral, one of its most well-known churches. You’ll also want to see the Tower of London, the Palace of Westminster, and Westminster Abbey for exquisite examples of the city’s famous architectural landmarks. Walk or jog through numerous green spaces, among them Hyde Park and Green Park, in the center of London.
Continue your London sightseeing in the West End, where you’ll find ancient buildings converted into modern shops, restaurants, bars, and shows. You’ll find one of the largest theatre districts in the world here, and can take in a different play almost every night of the week.
For a real treat, climb aboard the London Eye, a giant, rotating Ferris wheel, and see the old and new parts of the city all at once.

In this video tour, David Hill of New York Habitat (http://www.nyhabitat.com) explores the historic area of Westminster in London! As the political and cultural heart of London, Westminster houses the Palace of Westminster, which is the seat of government, as well as Buckingham Palace, which is the residence of the Royal Family. To the north, Westminster is bounded by Mayfair and Trafalgar Square; to the east and south by the River Thames; and to the west by Knightsbridge and Chelsea. In this video tour, we'll take you to the Houses of Parliament; Westminster Abbey; Buckingham Palace and more!
The Houses of Parliament
The tour starts at the Palace of Westminster, which is more commonly known as the Houses of Parliament. The Parliament have been meeting here since the 13th Century, and the first Royal Palace built on this site even dates back to the 11th Century! The present Palace was built in the 19th Century after the previous palace burned down. Both the House of Commons and the House of Lords meet in the Palace. The building, complete with the Elizabeth Tower or Big Ben, has become one of the most iconic landmarks in London.
Westminster Abbey
Westminster Abbey was constructed almost a thousand years ago. Over the years it has seen numerous coronations and royal weddings. The most recent of these was the royal wedding of Prince William and Kate Middleton in 2011. There are also a great number of national figures buried in the Abbey, including Geoffrey Chaucer, Charles Darwin and Isaac Newton. The Abbey's cloister and gardens are also very much worth a visit.
Buckingham Palace
Buckingham Palace is also located in Westminster. Tourists come to the gates of the Palace every day to watch the Changing of the Guards in the courtyard. For some time in the summer you can even visit the Palace's staterooms. Even if you don't visit the inside of the Palace, it's quite a thrill to see the Royal Standard flag wave high above the palace, signaling the Queen is in residence.
Stay in a Westminster Vacation Rental Apartment
If you're looking for your own London residence; consider renting a vacation rental apartment! (http://www.nyhabitat.com/london-apartment/vacation) NY Habitat has many vacation rental apartments available in Westminster that will allow you to feel like a true London local! Take for example this lovely Westminster studio apartment: http://www.nyhabitat.com/london-apartment/vacation/1174, which is located close to Buckingham Palace. Or if you're coming with your family and are in need of a little more space, how about this classic 2-bedroom apartment: http://www.nyhabitat.com/london-apartment/vacation/75, which even gives access to the building's swimming pool! Check http://www.nyhabitat.com/london-apartment.html for our entire selection of apartments in London.
St. James's Park
St. James's Park east of Buckingham Palace is the oldest of the Royal Parks in London. Once part of uncultivated marshland, the park today boasts lush lawns, beautiful trees and even a small lake with two islands. The colony of pelicans that inhabit the park are a marvel to see. At the eastern end of the park you'll find the impressive Horse Guards Parade, where tournaments used to be held.
Victoria Station
London Victoria Station is one of the busiest terminuses in London and the UK, and is located right in the middle of Westminster. This makes it very easy to get to Westminster from other parts of the country by train. The station also includes an air terminal to Gatwick Airport, as well as access to many bus lines and the London Underground. The Circle Line, District Line and Victoria Line all have stops at Victoria Station.
Belgrave Square
Belgrave Square in Westminster is one of the most popular residential areas in London. The beautiful white-stuccoed houses are a great example of some of the best of 19th century architecture. Nowadays many of the mansions on the square house embassies.
Westminster's Traditional Pubs
The Grenadier near Belgrave Square is just one of the many great traditional pubs you can find all over in Westminster. These historic pubs often have striking names, such as The Ship & Shovell Pub, The Princess of Wales and Champagne Charlies. At these pubs you can try a traditional serving of fish & chips served with a nice pint of ale!

Westminster Abbey
Westminster Abbey, formally titled the Collegiate Church of St Peter at Westminster, is a large, mainly Gothic abbey church in the City of Westminster, London, just to the west of the Palace of Westminster. It is one of the United Kingdom's most notable religious buildings and the traditional place of coronation and burial site for English and, later, British monarchs. Between 1540 and 1556 the abbey had the status of a cathedral. Since 1560, however, the building is no longer an abbey nor a cathedral, having instead the status of a Church of England "Royal Peculiar"—a church responsible directly to the sovereign. The building itself is the original abbey church. More info Visit https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Westminster_Abbey westminster abbey mission westminster cathedral who is buried ...

London: Palace of Westminster | Tourist Destinations
The Palace of Westminster is the meeting place of the House of Commons and the House of Lords, the two houses of the Parliament of the United Kingdom. Commonly known as the Houses of Parliament after its occupants, it is also known as the 'heart of British politics'. The Palace lies on the northern bank of the River Thames in the City of Westminster, in central London. Its name, which derives from the neighbouring Westminster Abbey, may refer to either of two structures: the Old Palace, a medieval building complex that was destroyed by fire in 1834, and its replacement, the New Palace that stands today. For ceremonial purposes, the palace retains its original style and status as a royal residence and is the property of the Crown.
The first royal palace was built on the site in the eleventh century, and Westminster was the primary residence of the Kings of England until a fire destroyed much of the complex in 1512. After that, it served as the home of the Parliament of England, which had been meeting there since the thirteenth century, and also as the seat of the Royal Courts of Justice, based in and around Westminster Hall. In 1834, an even greater fire ravaged the heavily rebuilt Houses of Parliament, and the only medieval structures of significance to survive were Westminster Hall, the Cloisters of St Stephen's, the Chapel of St Mary Undercroft, and the Jewel Tower.

Ivor Roberts-Jones and the Sculpture of the Palace of Westminster
To mark the 35th anniversary of the unveiling of a statue of Clement Attlee by Ivor Roberts-Jones in the Member’s Lobby of the House of Commons, Dr Jonathan Black discusses Roberts-Jones (1913-1996) and his significant public sculpture in and around the Palace of Westminster including the iconic statue of Churchill in Parliament Square. Dr Black’s monograph, ‘Abstraction and Reality: The Sculpture of Ivor Roberts-Jones’ argues that despite being a largely unfamiliar name, Roberts-Jones should be understood as a major British twentieth-century sculptor of public memorials and portrait busts. Dr Black is Senior Research Fellow in History of Art at Kingston University. We are grateful to the Arts and Humanities Research Council and Kingston University for supporting this talk and the accom...

Darkest Secrets About Buckingham Palace Revealed - BBC Documentary 2016
Darkest Secrets About Buckingham Palace Revealed - BBC Documentary 2016 Buckingham Palace (UK /ˈbʌkɪŋəm/ /ˈpælɪs/[1][2]) is the official London residence and administrative headquarters of the reigning monarch of the United Kingdom.[3][4] Located in the City of Westminster, the palace is often at the centre of state occasions and royal hospitality. It has been a focus for the British people at times of national rejoicing. Originally known as Buckingham House, the building at the core of today's palace was a large townhouse built for the Duke of Buckingham in 1703 on a site that had been in private ownership for at least 150 years. It was acquired by King George III in 1761[5] as a private residence for Queen Charlotte and became known as "The Queen's House". During the 19th century it was...

Treason? The trial of the Magna Carta barons: Westminster Hall, 31 July 2015
On 31 July 2015, 800 people gathered in the surroundings of Westminster Hall, in the Palace of Westminster, to witness a historic mock trial of a representative group of Magna Carta barons. The event was part of a range of activities taking place globally to mark the 800th anniversary of the sealing of Magna Carta at Runnymede in 1215. The mock trial saw two senior barristers debating whether King John's actions in the run-up to 1215 justified the terms the barons forced him to agree in the form of Magna Carta, and the extent to which rebellion against the King can be acceptable in the eyes of the law. The three judges - Lord Neuberger, President of the Supreme Court, Justice Stephen Breyer of the US Supreme Court, and Dame Sian Elias, Chief Justice of New Zealand - heard argument fr...

Darkest Secrets About Buckingham Palace Revealed - BBC Documentary 2016
Buckingham Palace (UK /ˈbʌkɪŋəm/ /ˈpælɪs/[1][2]) is the official London residence and administrative headquarters of the reigning monarch of the United Kingdom.[3][4] Located in the City of Westminster, the palace is often at the centre of state occasions and royal hospitality. It has been a focus for the British people at times of national rejoicing.
Originally known as Buckingham House, the building at the core of today's palace was a large townhouse built for the Duke of Buckingham in 1703 on a site that had been in private ownership for at least 150 years. It was acquired by King George III in 1761[5] as a private residence for Queen Charlotte and became known as "The Queen's House". During the 19th century it was enlarged, principally by architects John Nash and Edward Blore, who constructed three wings around a central courtyard. Buckingham Palace became the London residence of the British monarch on the accession of Queen Victoria in 1837.
The last major structural additions were made in the late 19th and early 20th centuries, including the East front, which contains the well-known balcony on which the royal family traditionally congregates to greet crowds. The palace chapel was destroyed by a German bomb during World War II; the Queen's Gallery was built on the site and opened to the public in 1962 to exhibit works of art from the Royal Collection.

On 31 July 2015, 800 people gathered in the surroundings of Westminster Hall, in the Palace of Westminster, to witness a historic mock trial of a representative group of Magna Carta barons.
The event was part of a range of activities taking place globally to mark the 800th anniversary of the sealing of Magna Carta at Runnymede in 1215.
The mock trial saw two senior barristers debating whether King John's actions in the run-up to 1215 justified the terms the barons forced him to agree in the form of Magna Carta, and the extent to which rebellion against the King can be acceptable in the eyes of the law.
The three judges - Lord Neuberger, President of the Supreme Court, Justice Stephen Breyer of the US Supreme Court, and Dame Sian Elias, Chief Justice of New Zealand - heard argument from James Eadie QC for the prosecution and Nathalie Lieven QC for the defence.
Historic witnesses assisting the Court included King John (played by Clive Anderson), the then Archbishop of Canterbury, Stephen Langton (played by Lord Lisvane), leader of the rebel barons, Baron Fitzwalter (played by Prof David Carpenter) and intermediary William Marshal (played by Lord Judge).
The special event was organised by the UK Supreme Court and the Magna Carta 800th Anniversary Commemoration Committee.

The Palace
The Palace
A place of power's rising
A place so deep within
In that stormy night when I came in
The fence that penned me in
In times when my heart tried to flee
From the serpent camouflage's melody
[pre-chorus]
The corridors I'm walking the walls point waits at me
The pictures in their ancient frames
Have eyes but will not see
[chorus]
One silent scream
Came straight into my dream am I still here in these
Unwritten pages of stories
The spoken word
Is often quite unheard
In this old gallery
Of splendid unbroken memory
I can hear
The palace in your heart will grow
Uncovered the rivers will flow
Plastic balls of forlorn memories
Rolling on and on
For one more wish you're yearning and they're gone
The valleys of your soul
They still can let the light shine in
The symmetry of your heart grows within
[pre-chorus]
The mourning hours are history
In my enchanted land
The belfry dies away down here
The road shall have no end
[chorus]
For years I've tried to feel
For years I've turned the wheel
For all that's said and done it is so clear
The crystal moments shine above eternal nights of fearin' here
