Gatesong for DW V - ordnance11 - 03-31-2004
Impossible Dream (The Quest)
To dream the impossible dream
To fight the unbeatable foe
To bear with unbearable sorrow
And to run where
the brave dare not go
To right the unrightable wrong
And to love pure and chaste from afar
To try when your arms are too weary
To reach the unreachable star
This is my quest
To follow that star
No matter how hopeless
No matter how far
To fight for the right
Without question or pause
To be willing to march,
march into hell
For that heavenly cause
And I know
If I'll only be true
To this glorious quest
That my heart
Will lie peaceful and calm
When I'm laid to my rest
And the world will be
better for this
That one man, scorned
and covered with scars,
Still strove with his last
ounce of courage
To reach the unreachable,
the unreachable,
The unreachable star
And I'll always dream
The impossible dream
Yes, and I'll reach
The unreachable star
Seems to describe Doug to a tee. Plus it seems to fit this walk.

Hmmm. If you're talking about a gatesong to enter DW V...well, I think this song has been mentioned elsewhere, but I cannot remember in what context. But I have to admit I've been thinking of it as the gatesong for this Step for some time.
Kyrie - Mr. Mister
Kyrie eleison - Kyrie eleison - Kyrie eleis -
The wind blows hard against this mountainsiae
Across the sea into my soul.
It reaches into where I cannot hide
Setting my feet upon the road.
My heart is old it holds my memories
My body burns a gemlike flame.
Somewhere between the soul and soft machine
Is where I find myself again.
Kyrie eleison - down the road that I must travel
Kyrie eleison - through the darkness of the night
Kyrie eleison - where I'm going will you follow
Kyrie eleison - on a highway in the light.
When I was young I thought of growing old
Of what my life would mean to me.
Would I have followed down my chosen road
Or only wished what I could be?
Kyrie eleison - down the road that I must travel
. . .
Kyrie eleison - down the road that I must travel
. . .
Kyrie eleison - down the road that I must travel
. . .
Kyrie eleison - down the road that I must travel
. . .
Kyrie eleison - down the road that I must travel

Actually, I'm thinking it as a song to leave OMB.

Almost forgot..it's the ending song of the musical "Man of La Mancha"
Heck, it worked for that guy in Quantum Leap.

Re: Kyrie - Bob Schroeck - 03-31-2004
Actually, for the longest time that song was associated with DW2; the epilogues section was supposed to start with the chorus. This can be verified by the few folk who have copies of the very limited edition 3-CD set of the DW2 Original Soundtrack -- "Kyrie" is one of last songs on the third disk before you get into the bonus tracks...
I don't think I'll ever actually use it as a gate song. It's too good as a theme.
