Lyrics for Return of the King
A 100 years of toil and pain To pull a stone upright again Up routed from its mountain home Taken to this sacred circle Is there a secret in the stones? 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 with the Beltane fires I know the king will come again When all that glitters turns to rust Uther Pendragon standing fast beside you I know the king will come again I know the king will come again 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 the 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 turns to rust Uther Pendragon standing fast beside you Is that a shadow on the hill Or a phanton in the mere What is the meaning of the 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 turns to rust Uther Pendragon standing fast beside you I know the king will come again I know the king will come again
