[intro]
+gregorian chanting+

[verse 1]
darkness falls, their fires they light
pity those who live in fright
mercy upon those who fight
for someplace in the sunset

[verse 2]
sounds of war, pistols roar
violence walks among the poor
and danger lurks at every door
and peoples’ eyes are blinded

[verse 3]
stop and shop, a hotel flop
are k!llers, fools and crazy cops
it all goes on it never stops
no lull, no rest, no reason

[verse 4]
concrete walls and dingy halls
drunk men sleepin’ where they fall
are livin’ hard and dyin’ small
and drowned and disillusioned
[verse 5]
dragon queen, street machinе
fadin’ fast and feelin’ mean
an old man sits and eats his beans
hе knows his love lies resting

[verse 6]
and poets, painters pale but true
they all send their love to you
and they all know what they must do
to purify their senses

[bridge]
and, arthur, where are you now? we need ya
we’ve been much too long without a leader

[verse 7]
long ago in days of old
many stories have been told
of how the dragons robbed the folds
of the shepherds who lay sleeping

[verse 8]
a young man from king ector’s court
came to london town for sport
and pulled the sword from out the stone
and gave birth to his kingdom
[verse 9]
and took a fair wife, guinevere
the fairest in the land i hear
and learned of courage and of fear
from the ancient merlin

[interlude]

[verse 10]
a hundred knights at a table round
try and keep the evil down
spread the word throughout the towns
and hope throughout the kingdom

[verse 11]
and knights in shinning armor rode
drove the robbers from road
and n0blemen and beggars owed
their lives to this young chieftain

[verse 12]
and pelinore, the wandering one
as his life was almost done
became the subject of the once
and future king of england
[verse 13]
was it really as they say?
were you betrayed by those who knew you?
all is fair in love and war
nothing’s more or less than honor

[verse 14]
in my sheltered simple way
i have followed in your footsteps
and i have seen the changing signs
now’s the time for your return

[verse 15]
lancelot, my trusted friend
became my rival in the end
with heavy heart i have to send
my soldiers into battle
