Sail Away to Avalon
"Sail Away to Avalon" is the first single by Ayreon, released on 1995, from their album The Final Experiment. The song combines elements of medieval classical music with heavy metal and folk using instruments such as the harpsichord for the rhythm sections. The lyrics reinforce this theme, telling the tale of a grand adventure to "Avalon" to recover the holy grail. The single is a re-recording of Ayreon's demo EP. All songs from the demo, except "the Accusation" were re-recorded for the single EP and the compilation album, Ayreonauts Only (also not including "Sail Away to Avalon").

gollark: nginx mostly just uses one.
gollark: In what way?
gollark: `certbot` asks for a "webroot" to place files into, so I use that, and it works flawlessly.
gollark: So I made it so that if any domain is accessed via HTTP, and the request is for `.well-known/something`, it'll use a dedicated folder.
gollark: Basically, the ACME verification thing it uses looks for files under `.well-known`.
