Knightfall Lyrics

Swords and maces clash
As armies meet their fate
Dragons fight the field
Like raging storms of hate

Pendragon's breath unleashed
Yelling for a fight
Doomed his undead rider
Who was once a noble knight

The vessel in his hand
To blind the enemies
The brightness of the grail
Forced whole armies to their knees

Its magic coats the field
Glory to the grail
First fell of gloom
Seemed brighter than a day

When thousand men fell on their knees
Blinded by the brightness of the grail
Magic spread upon the field
Never should their mighty army fail

Mercy on us - there's blood on the field
Have mercy - there is blood on my shield
There is blood on his shield - have mercy
Mercy on us - there's blood on the field
Have mercy - there is blood on my shield
First blood on his shield - have mercy

Lightnings split the sky
Above the battlefield
But after days of endless rage
The king refused to yield

Down - rush the dragon down
Smoke turned into flames
But still the king would hold his sword
And stand to fight again

My sword will guide you through the storm
My light will lead you through this war
And may it be our final day
We have not lived in vain

Mercy on us - there's blood on the field
Have mercy - there is blood on my shield
There is blood on his shield - have mercy
Mercy on us - there's blood on the field
Have mercy - there is blood on my shield
First blood on his shield - have mercy

Silence - is his only companion
As he walks on in the moon glow
Silence - as he's passing all the graves
Of those who are long gone
In the red snow

Glory to thee - oh mightiest of all
Thee who bled - thee who suffered
And heeded the call
Hail valiant king - we raise our grail
To thy crown - to thy kingdom
Our quest shall not fail

Omens of time - that may lay ahead
Full of pain - full of tears
Years of sorrow and dread
"Nor yet beyond reason or hope shall we fall
All things have their season and mercy crowns all!"
