The Winter King |
Facing the west to a distant land |
Gazing out to the sea |
Standing on Cornwall’s rocky shore |
The crashing waves far below me |
I heard a woman calling my name |
Her voice the voice of a friend |
And she said |
«Now hear me, I’m Morgan le Fey |
Let me tell you a story with no end.» |
The life of a man, the life of a King |
The love for a Queen |
Pendragon of Britain |
Sovereign of the Land |
The mightiest warrior ever seen |
The Magic Sword in his hand |
Like lightning, cut through the air |
A gift of the Goddess |
Lady of the Lake |
To Valiant Arthur, the Bear |
In the heart of Dumnonia |
Stands a tower |
An Isle on a sea of glass |
Where Merlin planned |
The Old Gods of the Land |
Would return to Britain at last |
Twelve of the Thirteen Treasures were there |
Clyddno Eiddin’s Cauldron |
The quest |
On Prydwen they sailed |
Into the Otherworld |
None but seven |
Returned from the west |
Facing the west to a distant land |
Gazing out to the sea |
Standing on Cornwall’s rocky shore |
The Crashing waves far below me |
I see a ship disappear in the mist |
That shines like silver and bronze |
Carrying the body |
Of the Wounded King |
To be healed in Avalon |
