This is the best-known song from one of the pioneers of the progressive rock movement. It evokes imagery of a black queen, funeral march and fire witch in a medieval royal court.
Since this is nine minutes long, it was not released as a single, but received radio play nonetheless.
The turnaround on Mellotron (played by Ian McDonald) was inspired by James Brown.
