VISUALS AND MUSICAL INSPIRATION FOR WARRIORS OF THE LIGHT

Georgian Templar Ring that might be a
template for the one Zak saw Lily wearing
.
Typical and iconic red Templar cross
.
Primary source book detailing the
code by which the Templars lived
 Effigies in the Temple Church. This is 
a shot where Alison saw the figures writhing 
on their plinths.
 A second shot of the writhing templars
Another photo of the Templar Effigies
.

Laying flowers on the tomb of William Marshal


 Close up of a Templar tomb effigy face
at the Temple Church
 On Guard! Effigy preparing to fight at
The Temple Church
Stained glass light on Templar Effigies
at the Temple Church London
.
Face of William Marshal, plaster 
cast at the V&A Museum
.
Warrior kit of the Templar period.
NB This is not a Templar knight
Knights on horseback from the Templar
period. NB. These are not Templar knights
Hand sculpture in the Temple area. 
Could be outside Lily's office. Echoes
the hands used in the story to channel 
energy
   Chepstow Castle on the River Wye, once
home of the great William Marshal
Another view of Chepstow showing the
river with the tide out.
    Actor Kiefer Sutherland as a template 
for the character of Hugo
and  also below.


Actor Skander Keynes as a template for the character of Zak
Although young in this photograph he is now 22 and would be

older should he ever be approached should Warriors of the Light come to be filmed. He is half-Arabic and a descendent of economist John Maynard Keynes, so that's synchronicity!

MUSICAL INSPIRATION AND RESONANCES


Breakaway by Fransson, Larsson, Lundgren, Mae
sung by Celine Dion

From the fire in your words
To the dagger in your eye
I just have to lay my body down
Go and lay my body down
I pretend to be asleep
But I know you hear me cry
I just have to lay my body down
Go and lay my body down

But if I
Really want a change
Then I must admit
That I'm the one to blame

If I could break away
Cut the cord
For worse or better 
If I could turn the page
At last and say
Goodbye forever
But on the other side
Of yesterday
Beyond the heartache
What if all I am
Without the pain
is empty-hearted
I could break away.

Is it true what people say
That it's darkest before dawn?
I just have to lay my body down 
Any hope we might have saved
Is too weak to let live on
I just have to lay my body down
Go and lay my body down

And if I 
Really want a change
Then tonight I'm gonna need
All of my strength

If I could break away
Cut the cord
For worse or better
If I could turn the page
At last and say
Goodbye forever
But on the other side
Of yesterday
Beyond the heartache
What if all I am
Without the pain
is empty-hearted
I could break away

Oh anything is better than this
I know
Anything is better

Chorus

I'll Find My Way Home
By Jon Anderson & Vangelis


Lyrics

You ask me where to begin
Am I so lost in my sin
You ask me where did I fall
I'll say I can't tell you when
But if my spirit is lost
How will I find what is near?
Don't question I'm not alone
Somehow I'll find my way home

My sun shall rise in the east
So shall my heart be at peace
And if you're asking me when
I'll say it starts at the end
 You know your will to be free
Is matched with love secretly
And talk will alter your prayer
Somehow you'll find you are there

Your friend is close by your side
And speaks in far ancient tongue
A season's wish will come true
All seasons begin with you
One world we come from
One world we melt into one

Just hold my hand and we're there
Somehow we're going somewhere
Somehow we're going somewhere.

You ask me where to begin
Am I so lost in my sin
You ask me where did I fall
I'll say I can't tell you when
But if my spirit is strong
I know it can't be long
No questions I'm not alone
Somehow I'll find my way home
Somehow I'll find my way home
Somehow I'll find my way home
Somehow I'll find my way home

Don't Give Up
Peter Gabriel and Kate Bush


Lyrics
In this proud land we grew up strong
We were wanted all along
I was taught to fight, taught to win
I never thought I could fail

No fight left or so it seems
I am a man whose dreams have all deserted
I've changed my face I've changed my name
But no one wants you when you lose

Don't give up
You still have friends
Don't give up
You're not beaten yet
Don't give up
I know you can make it good

Though I saw it all around
Never thought that I could be affected
Thought we'd be the last to go
It's so strange the way things turn

Drove the night toward my home
The place that I was born on the lakeside
As daylight broke I saw the earth
The trees had burned down to the ground

Don't give up
You still have us
Don't give up
We don't need much of anything
Don't give up
'cos somewhere there's a place
where we belong

Rest your head
You worry too much
It's going to be alright
When times get rough
You can fall back on us
Don't give up
Please don't give up

'got to walk out of here
I can't take anymore
Going to stand on that bridge
Keep my eyes down below
Whatever may come
And whatever may go
That river's flowing
That river's flowing

Moved on to another town
Tried hard to settle down
For every job, so many men
So many men no-one needs

Don't give up
'cause you have friends
Don't give up
You're not the only one
Don't give up
No reason to be ashamed
Don't give up
You still have us
Don't give up now
We're proud of who you are
Don't give up
You know it's never been easy
Don't give up
'cause I believe there's a place
There's a place where we belong.

Live
Run to the Water


Lyrics
Oh desert speak to my heart
Oh woman of the earth
maker of children who weep for love
maker of this birth
'till you deepest secrets are known to me
I will not be moved
I will not be moved

Don't try to find the answer
when there ain't no question here
brother let your heart be wounded
 and give no mercy to your fear

Adam and Eve live down the street from me
Babylon is every town
it's as crazy as it's ever been
Love's a stranger all around

In a moment we lost our minds here
and lay out spirit down
today we lived a thousand years
all we have is now

Run to the water
and find me there
bent to the core but not broken
we'll cut through this madness
of these streets below the moon
 these streets below the moon

and I will never leave you
'till we can say 'this world was just a dream
we were sleepin' now we are awake
'till we can see

In a moment we lost our minds here
and dreamed the world was round
a million mile fall from grace
thank God we missed the ground

Run to the water
And find me there
Bent to the core but not broken
We'll cut through the madness
Of these streets below the moon
With a nuclear fire of love in our hearts

Yeah, I can see it now lord
Out beyond all the breakin' of waves
And the tribulation
It's a place and the home of ascended
Souls
Who swam out there in love!

Run to the water
And find me there
Bent to the core but not broken
We'll cut through this madness
Of these streets beneath the moon
With a nuclear fire of love in our hearts
Rest easy baby, rest easy
And recognise it all as light and rainbows
Smashed to smithereens and be happy
Run to the water and find me there
Run to the water
