Mists of Avalon Lyrics
[Intro]
In the Mists of Avalon
She's waiting there for you
In the mists of Avalon, she's waiting there for you
[Verse 1]
The sword of power forged in steel
Your desire to make the deal
Excalibur is yours to take
Deep inside the Crystal Lake
[Chorus]
In the mists of Avalon, she's waiting there for you
The lady of the lake, you must be brave and true
Avalon
Avalon
[Verse 2]
Mystic powers in your hand
Take the blade and free the land
Unite the kingdom sea to sea
Excalibur your destiny
[Chorus]
In the mists of Avalon, she's waiting there for you
The lady of the lake, you must be brave and true
Avalon
Avalon
[Guitar Solo]
[Verse 3]
In your heart, you must be true
Abuse the power she gave to you
Betray your vows you'll stand alone
Excalibur return to stone
[Chorus]
In the mists of Avalon, she's waiting there for you
The lady of the lake, you must be brave and true
Avalon
Avalon
