lyrics

The flames light up the sky, the pagans sing their songs
Awaiting the last days of Dumnonia

Bring back the old Gods
When the King is dead
Summoning the Druids
When the King is dead
Meeting the Master
When the King is dead
Swords without hope
When the King is dead

He took the sword out of the stone, part of the prophecy
But Merlin knows the end, One Man can’t rule the land
Betrayed by Lancelot and hunt by Saxon hordes
But he will stand up tall, wielding Excalibur
An uncrowned warrior, who never would be King

Bring back…..

The sky is grey as the waters below
The bastard son lies dead in the snow
Parcival, come and take my hand
And lead me to my promised land
No place for me on this bloody ground
After me the real king will be found
Throw my sword deep into the sea
In Avalon they will bury me

The King is dead - And Merlins gone
The King is dead - Taliesin´s song
The King is dead - The land is lost
The King is dead - We´ll count the cost
The King is dead - The circles break
The King is dead - That was his fate
The King is dead - The light is gone
The King is dead - In Avalon

He is gone
He is dying
