dakin matthews, andrew burnap & camelot on broadway company - guenevere lyrics

Loading...

[company]
from the room, down the hall
through the yard, to the wall
slashing fiercely left and right
lance escaped them and took flight

[pellinore]
arthur, thank god! they’ve arrested the queen! that child, that worm of a boy, arthur, he contrived+

[arthur]
pelly! i know!

[pellinore]
well, do something!

[arthur]
she’s under arrest. she’s been accused of treason.

[pellinore]
arthur, i understand you’re angry+

[arthur]
she’s been accused of breaking the law! she has to be judged.

[company]
on a day dark and drear
came to trial guenevere
ruled the jury for her shame
she’d be sentenced to the flame
[pellinore]
they’ve returned the verdict: guilty! arthur, please. i’m an old man and i know i’m ridiculous, but for the love of god, it’s genny!

[arthur]
she broke the law, pellinore!

[pellinore]
yes+

[arthur]
a law signed by the king! so say the people .

[company]
as the dawn filled the sky
on the day she would die
there was wonder far and near
would the king burn guenevere?

[pellinore]
your majesty! arthur, you’re paralyzed!

[arthur]
neither you nor i nor god himself can stop this terrible thing that’s been put in motion.

[pellinore]
what are you waiting for?
[arthur]
i’m waiting for what’s inevitably coming next!

[company]
then suddenly earth and sky were dazed by a pounding roar
and suddenly through the dawn an army began to pour
and lo, ahead the army, holding aloft his spear
came lancelot to save his dear guenevere

[knight one]
majesty, sentries report three hundred men are headed for the east gate. should i double the guard?

[arthur]
that’s lancelot du lac out there and he’s brought a battalion. double the guard, triple the guard. those guards are going to die tonight.

[company]
by the score fell the dead
as the yard turned to red
countless numbers felt his spear
as he rescued guenevere

[knight two]
majesty! most of the guard has been k!lled. lancelot and his man have the queen and they’re headed for the channel.

[arthur]
call up four thousand men from the west, and twelve thousand from the south. a state of war now exists between england and france.
[company]
in that dawn, in that gloom
more than love met its doom
in the dying candle’s gleam
came the sundown of a dream
guenevere, guenevere
guenevere, guenevere
saw the men she held most dear
go to war for guenevere
guenevere, guenevere
guenevere
