Once and Future King Lyrics

Gathering over the ancient well
The seeds of hope scattered like leaves on autumn winds
Calling from worlds where the spirits dwell
Trust the Sight, search for the answers deep within

Look now into the sacred water
Bring forth the omens from the night
Reveal an ancient world of wonder
The coming of the King
An answer in sight

(Lead: Farmer)

Our kingdom will finally stand as one
The path is set, it is your fate, don't turn astray
Visions, portents of things to come
The future calls, but know that the past still holds its sway

(Verse leads: Farmer)
Yield not to silent contemplation
Reality obscures the dream
These hopes can turn to desperation
If we do not realise the truth is not what it seems

(chorus)
I am the whispering on the wind
I am the songs they'll sing to mark this day
A shadow of all that the future may bring

I am the spirit of this land
Breaking the chains that keep us locked away
For I am the once and future king
(end chorus)

(Solos: McNeill 2:37-42, Farmer 2:42-47, McNeill 2:47-52, Farmer 2:52-57, McNeill 2:57-3:02, Farmer 3:02-16)

Bring me the magic of the lake
The sword and the cross will help me lead the way

(Reprise chorus x2)
