Return of the King Lyrics
A 100 years of toil and pain
To pull a stone upright again
Uproot from its mountain home
Taken to this sacred circle
Is there a secret in the stone?
A message in the hills
Is there a secret in the stones?
A message long ago
I know the king will come again
From the shadow to the sun
Burning hillsides from the beltane fires
I know the king will come again
When all that glitters turn to rust
Uther pendragon standing fast beside you
The sun the moon we worshipped here
A calendar of fear
Gazing across the channel sea
To see the beacons burning brightly
Is that a shadow on the hill?
Or a phantom in the mere
What is the meaning of these stones?
Why do they stand alone?
I know the king will come again
From the shadow to the sun
Burning hillsides with the beltane fires
I know the king will come again
When all that glitters turn to rust
Uther pendragon standing fast beside you
Is that a shadow on the hill?
Or a phantom in the mere
What is the meaning of these stones?
Why do they stand alone?
I know the king will come again
From the shadow to the sun
Burning hillsides with the beltane fires
I know the king will come again
When all that glitters turn to rust
Uther pendragon standing fast beside you
I know the king will come again
I know the king will come again
To pull a stone upright again
Taken to this sacred circle
A message in the hills
Is there a secret in the stones?
A message long ago
From the shadow to the sun
Burning hillsides from the beltane fires
When all that glitters turn to rust
Uther pendragon standing fast beside you
A calendar of fear
To see the beacons burning brightly
Or a phantom in the mere
Why do they stand alone?
From the shadow to the sun
Burning hillsides with the beltane fires
When all that glitters turn to rust
Uther pendragon standing fast beside you
Or a phantom in the mere
Why do they stand alone?
From the shadow to the sun
Burning hillsides with the beltane fires
When all that glitters turn to rust
Uther pendragon standing fast beside you
I know the king will come again
