2001 single by Blind Guardian
"And Then There Was Silence " is a song by German power metal band Blind Guardian . It was released in November 2001 as the lead single from their album A Night at the Opera
Written by singer Hansi Kürsch and composed by Kürsch and guitarist André Olbrich , the song is based on The Iliad by Homer and on the Aeneid by Virgil , and narrates the final days of Troy , as foreseen by Cassandra , daughter of the king of the destroyed city who foresaw the event.
The song required as much production time as the rest of A Night at the Opera combined due to its length, intricacy, and number of audio tracks. At over 14 minutes, it is the longest track recorded by Blind Guardian. A new version was recorded in 2012 and included as part of the compilation album Memories of a Time to Come
