Return of the King (2001 Remaster)
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
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
