Prologue: Take Me Back
America
Take me back, back to the days of freedom, when the land was young and new. Take me home, home to the heartland, where the past lies forgotten by all, save one. Take me away, away to a place high in the sky, where everything both good and bad no longer matter, even if only for awhile.
Ireland
Take me back, back to the days of our youth, when we ran amok over the mountains of Cork and Kerry. Take me home, home to the land of my dreams, when we had not a care in the world and life was but a game. Take me away, away to a time that now seems like nothing more than a dream of things long since passed.
England
Take me back, back to the golden days, when power and wealth were in abundance. Take me home, home to the days of family, when we ran through forests green and swam in the blue sea. Take me away, away to the far reaches of the mind, where anger, hate and pain still linger.
Austria
Take me back, back to the days when we lived and loved life, living each day like it was our last. Take me home, home to the music of the heart, when we used music as a way of speaking when words failed us. Take me away, away to the music we played back then that still plays in our hearts and always will, until the end of time.
Danmark
Take me back, back to the days of power, when we fought over small things and drank around a roaring fire Take me home, home to when we ruled the seas and were happy. Take me away, away to the deep blue ocean and the majestic northern lights that illuminate the path of life for just a split second.
Japan
Take me back, back to the days of tradition, when we lived and died by the same code and worshiped the same gods. Take me home, home to the land of pleasure, where the art and music of olden times are still alive. Take me away, away to the clam tranquil gardens that lie just outside the main palace keep.
Switzerland
Take me back, back to the days when it was just us against the world, when we kept going and still wound up being injured. Take me home, home to the days of having nothing, when all we did was fight in wars and battles just to see another day. Take me away, away to heaven, where your arms will keep us warm and safe even if it's nothing more than a dream.
Egypt
Take me back, back to the days of love, when all we knew of life was kindness and compassion for all people. Take me home, home to this dry dusty land, where myth and magic are an integral part of the land and its heritage. Take me away, away to the love we had and the dreams that we shared when we were together.
