Seventh Son Of A Seventh Son

This entire album, arguably, is based on seventh son, a novel by orson scott card. why i say arguably is because some people claim that only tracks 5 through 8 are based on the album. seventh son is actually the first book in a seires of four. The first four or so tracks have direct references to the first two books which focus mostly on the childhood of the seventh son of a seventh son. Tracks 6-8 begin referencing when the boy stops learning and begins teaching in a sense. This song actually summerizes the majority of the series, The birth obviously and the development of his powers "Then they watch the progress he makes The Good and the Evil which path will he take"

The whole album is based off of the book series Tales of Alvin Make by Orson Scott Card where the main character is a seventh son of a seventh son. Amazing book series the album tells the full story of the first few books

The seventh son of a seventh son is believed to be the chosen one as the healer with the power & the gift of the second sight...

thank you captain obvious.

Awesome song, though it sounds like it was written with Ronnie James Dio's voice in mind. Dio is, in my view, the only metal vocalist better than Bruce Dickinson.

What are you people thinking not commenting on this. This song is a classe apart. It's perfection! only Rainbow's Stargazer is better.

-my 50 cents.

Song is about the seventh son of the seventh son ;)

its all about alvin maker from the book 'seventh son'

holey crap.... im surprised theres not WAY more comments! its a sweet song! damit people!

the fuck does it mean???

This album is a concept album. This song, moonchild, infinite dreams, the prophecy, can i play with madness, and the clairvoyant are all telling one story about one who can see the future.
