Deep Purple

Deep Purple are an English rock band formed in Hertford in 1968. They are considered to be among the pioneers of heavy metal and modern hard rock, although some band members claimed that their music cannot be categorised as belonging to any one genre. They were once listed by the Guinness Book of World Records as "the globe's loudest band", and have sold over 100 million albums worldwide, including 7.5 million certified units in the US. Deep Purple were ranked number 22 on VH1's Greatest Artists of Hard Rock programme. more »

 Watch: New Singing Lesson Videos Can Make Anyone A Great Singer

In ages past when spells were cast
In a time of men and steel
Where a man was taught no special thing
It was all done by feel

So listen, so learn, so read on
You gotta turn the page, read the book of Taliesyn 

Hear the song of lovely Joan
Her sound so sweet and clear
In the courtroom of the King
Among dukedom and the peers

So listen, so learn, so read on
You gotta turn the page, read the book of Taliesyn 

Now hear ye the words of Taliesyn
On the foaming beach of the ocean, in the day of trouble
I shall be of more service to thee than three hundred salmon...

The hare he bounds across the page
Past castles white and fair
To dreaming chessmen on their boards
Where the fool's mate is a snare

So listen, so learn, so read on
You gotta turn the page, read the book of Taliesin 

So listen, so learn, so read on
You gotta turn the page, read the book of Taliesin 

Three times I have been born, I know through meditation...

The bird he flies the distance
From pages two to six
Past minstrels in their boxes
To the waters of the snakes

So listen, so learn, so read on
You gotta turn the page, read the book of Taliesin 

Don't take the pictures lightly
Listen to their sound
For from their colored feeling
Experience is found

So listen, so learn, so read on
You gotta turn the page, read the book of Taliesin 

All the sciences of the world are collected in my breast
For I know what has been, what is now
And what hereafter will occur...
