When dragons danced among the hills And wretched wights were walking still A legend born onto the one The wizard came to claim her son A sovereign right in blood preserved The sword and stone to seal the word Like wind-kept secrets whispered o'er So too shall live forevermore
By the crimson setting sun in the icy autumn air The king stands waiting, watching nature's sylvan tears Upon the water play, set like multicolored jewels By the fading light of day
Lo! Behold the sword of kings the lady does wield Of which the willows sing by harvest moon to barren fields
Honor is my life Show unto the world your destiny and lead the way Wits be my guide Bring unto the world so they may see where shadows play I shall not fall 'Tis both kings and beggars destiny: to Death shall fall
Then Death shall die
So Death he found, in battle met A struggle which likes shall ne'er be seen For thirteen moons their weapons set Yet to eithers vantage none could see The forest gawked and the Sidh did watch To see who would the victor be
'Twas wyrds way that on that day Death began to tire Mercy he did cry to be spared immortal fire
Mercy plea cannot ignore So Death goes free to hunt once more
So it was that Death was nigh destroyed And the king he lived on And let to roam free To bring order to the land When goblins still hunted And his name carried o're And the moon mothered dreams 'Til to Death he fell at last
When dragons danced aming the hills And wretched wights were walking still A legend born unto the one The wizard came to claim her son Alone he sleeps in earthen womb The forest floor his silken tomb By trumpet call, so legend says One day to rise once again
