The morning light shines through The rays fall on my face The hours of darkness have gone I wake up in this place A wooden bowl lies empty No food for this knight Alone I sit in this cold cell Loser of the fight Set me free from this place Set me free & hide my disgrace A victory is won & I have lost But you must pay yes you must pay the cost Like an arrow from a longbow the lion must go free Like the fish in the water I must sail the sea Set me free from this place Set me free & hide my disgrace Set me free ransom you'll bring Set me free 'cause I'm your king
