Shadowlord

Arthur's End

Shadowlord


By my fate, here I lie in the land that I love 
For my faith I have fought, born a servant 
Ill die a king 

In my life I have loved in my life I have lost 
In my life I have fought for whats right 

Now I beckon thee bedivere, my last faithful knight 
Take my sword and cast it into the lake 
So you took excalibur and hid it away 
and the glory of England came to this 

Twice I beckon thee bedivere, my last faithful knight 
My sword is a gift to be returned 

Now the day of destiny will never return 
Its only you and I that remain 
For the gold on my sword, youve deceived me once more 
My last friend have betrayed me twice 

Is it worth it to die for a country destroyed 
Take my sword and cast it into the lake 

In my life I have lost those I love most by betrayal 
As I draw my final breath I thank thee 
Blessed are those who spoke out for their own 
The heavens theyll claim for their own 

Forget those who are caught by the fishers of men 
The brave will inherit the earth 

Rest now my heroes, youve hallowed this ground 
with the blood that youve shed in my name 

As I lay bleeding on the land that I love 
I cherish the memories buried within 
I go now to rest on the isle of Avalon 
One day ill return again
