Darkness falls the fires they light
Pity those who live in fright
Mercy upon those who fight for someplace in the sunset
Sounds of war, pistols roar
Violence walks among the poor
Danger lurks at every door
And people's eyes are blinded
Stop and shop a hotel flop
Killers, fools and crazy cops
It all goes on, it never stops
No lull, no rest, no reason
Concrete walls and dingy halls
Drunk men sleeping where they fall
Living hard and dying small, and drowned and disillusioned
Dragon Queen, street machine
Fading fast and feeling mean
An old man sits and eats his beans
He knows his love lies resting
Poets, painters, pale but true
They all send their love to you
They all know what they must do to purify their senses
And Arthur, where are you now? We need ya
We've been much too long without a leader
Long ago, in days of old, many stories have been told
Of how the dragons robbed the folds of the shepherds who lay sleeping
A young man from King Ector's court came to London town for sport
And pulled the sword from out the stone and gave birth to his kingdom
And took a fair wife, Guinevere, the fairest in the land, I hear
He learned of courage and of fear from the ancient, Merlin
A hundred knights at a table round, try and keep the evil down
Spread the word throughout the towns, and hope throughout the kingdom
Knights in shinning armor, rode, drove the robbers from road
Noblemen and beggars owed their lives to this young chieftain
And Pelinore, the wandering one, as his life was almost done
Became the subject of the once and future king of England
Was it really as they say?
Were you betrayed by those who knew you?
All is fair in love and war
Nothing's more, or less than honor
In my sheltered, simple way
I have followed in your footsteps
And I have seen the changing signs
Now's the time for your return
Lancelot, my trusted friend, became my rival in the end
With heavy heart, I have to send my soldiers into battle
