13. Once and Future King (4:31)
Long time ago
the seed was sown,
a child born in
Uther's name.
Conceived in sin,
the future King,
a new realm of truth
proclaimed.
They came from far
to meet this man,
they saw he was
just and wise.
The flags unfold,
the fires rise,
reflecting the hate
in his eyes.
Fighting for the crown,
pride and honor to be found.
Born from sin
into Merlin's hand.
Once and future King,
vowed to return again.
In moonlit haze
among the hills,
Sir Mordred,
Morgana's shade.
Would slay his King,
forever cling
to darkness,
his powers fade.
Fighting for the crown,
pride and honor to be found.
Born from sin
into Merlin's hand.
Once and future King,
vowed to return again.
"Bedivere, my best of knights!
This sword I beg you take
to the place where it belongs,
and throw it in the lake"
Into the war
forever more,
the nation follow
the chosen one.
As when alive,
his will survives
to rest on the
island of Avalon.
Fighting for the crown,
pride and honor to be found.
Born from sin
into Merlin's hand.
Once and future King,
vowed to return again.
the seed was sown,
a child born in
Uther's name.
Conceived in sin,
the future King,
a new realm of truth
proclaimed.
They came from far
to meet this man,
they saw he was
just and wise.
The flags unfold,
the fires rise,
reflecting the hate
in his eyes.
Fighting for the crown,
pride and honor to be found.
Born from sin
into Merlin's hand.
Once and future King,
vowed to return again.
In moonlit haze
among the hills,
Sir Mordred,
Morgana's shade.
Would slay his King,
forever cling
to darkness,
his powers fade.
Fighting for the crown,
pride and honor to be found.
Born from sin
into Merlin's hand.
Once and future King,
vowed to return again.
"Bedivere, my best of knights!
This sword I beg you take
to the place where it belongs,
and throw it in the lake"
Into the war
forever more,
the nation follow
the chosen one.
As when alive,
his will survives
to rest on the
island of Avalon.
Fighting for the crown,
pride and honor to be found.
Born from sin
into Merlin's hand.
Once and future King,
vowed to return again.
