Magical World
Blackmore's Night Lyrics

Magical World

I called your name out loud in the courtyard,
The crystal I held was like an old friend
The vines crawled the walls
The wind held its breath
But the answer I longed for never came...
Your name, they had said, was cursed beyond measure,
The families at odds fought with poisoned tongues
And yet through the dark,
Of blind, bitter hate,
Broke a glittering light of two lover's fate...

Walls built between us,
Miles separate us,
Yet in our hearts, we share the same dream...
Feelings so strong,
We just must carry on,
On to our Magical World...

Destiny called them like a silver poem
They followed the dance 'till the music died out...
Last time they met was on an earth bed
Both knowing they'd meet again in the light...

Walls built between us,
Miles separate us,
Yet in our hearts, we share the same dream
Feelings so strong
We just must carry on,
On to our Magical World...

In our Magical World... In our Magical World...

Fear not, dear Juliet, your Romeo's calling
He's waiting for you at the end of the song,
This world was too cruel... for lovers like you,
But here in our hearts you'll always live on...

Walls built between us,
Miles separate us,
Yet in our hearts, we share the same dream...
Feelings so strong,
We just must carry on,
On to our Magical World...

Walls built between us,
Miles separate us,
Yet in our hearts, we share the same dream...
Feelings so strong,
We just must carry on,
On to our Magical World...

Walls built between us,
Miles separate us,
Yet in our hearts, we share the same dream...
Feelings so strong,
We just must carry on,
On to our Magical, Magical, Magical, World...
On to our Magical, Magical, Magical, World...

(Between us)
(So strong)





On to our Magical, Magical, Magical, World...

Overall Meaning

The lyrics in the song Magical World by Blackmore's Night speaks of a star-crossed love between two individuals separated by walls that have been erected due to a long-standing family feud. Despite the distance and the walls built between them, the lovers hold on to a magical dream and a strong feeling that they will one day be together in a world where love conquers all. The crystal mentioned in the first verse may represent a talisman for the singer's hope for the realization of their dream. However, the answer never came, leaving the singer's hope hanging by a thread. Despite this, the singer still believes that the power of love can conquer the walls around them and help them realize their dreams.


The chorus is a clear indication that the singer is not giving up on the love that exists between them and their lover, even though the miles and walls built between them seem insurmountable. It reiterates the strength of their shared dreams and their determination to forge ahead in the hope of being united. The use of the phrase "magical world" can be interpreted as a metaphorical representation of a harmonious world where love and not hatred flourishes.
