| i can identify with these lyric so well. i think he is saying that he dreams of living in another century, one with castles, and swords, and vikings, inspite of some of bad things that went on at the time. i have always thought that i was born about 800 years too late. | |

| Hmm. Whenever I hear a song that's not really that personal but uses a lot of imagery, I try to see what current events or conditions they're hinting at. So a question to ponder: what was going on in the world and/or with Aerosmith when the song was written (1976-77)? Was it the rise of punk? Disco? Maybe the writers were looking back to some more "romantic" time in history. Maybe they saw the world at that time as a vicious place to live. Or maybe it was just fun to write about the old, old, old days. 1 | |

| Awesome song. I love medieval times, though i don't necessarily wished I lived in them. | |
