lyrics

Part VII: Unsung Villains

One tale of untold was of Morgan Le Fay
A queen, great enchantress, half-sister of the king
Betrayed by looks, a sorceress in disguise
A revenge to be born, she gave birth to the son: Modred

Half of the tales of hatred and sin
like betrayal lie buried deep within

She tried to kill the king with his own sword
But the lady of the lake saved his life
She tried to kill him again and failed
and so forevermore was a deadly quarrel between them

Kings and queens ruling their land
try to make it work for your time in hand

Part VIII: The Grail

Time had come for Sangreal to be achieved
a high quest for men with clean hands and pure hearts
all the prophecies about the Sangreal shall be fulfilled
the quest shall begin and the round table will be scattered

Knights of honor around the round table
searching for something, searching for the Grail

Rode through lands, turning every stone
Fought fiery knights, raided some tombs
Treasure beyond price waited hundreds of years
The prize at the end was more than worth it

The Vessel of blood, royal indeed
grant their wishes in hunger and in need

Part IX: Betrayal

On and on hate grows its fingers
On and on love seeks its way

Friends turned against
by the love that betrayed
Blood runs thicker
than water (that) covers bodies
Words against each other
witnesses to none
Alliances in the long run
now they're all gone

On and on the man seeks his revenge
On and on sowing seeds of vengeance

Bastard returns
to right his wrong
Takes the crown and queen
sows death in the battlefield
Fellowship dissolved
lands wasted by war
the good sword the Excalibur
into the lake it will return

Part X: To The End

Great adventures
lost in history
Noble deeds
done with purest hearts
Death and darkness
cast by friends and foes
Most innocent of souls
stained with darkness

Kings lost in the shadows
of long-past centuries
still Arthur reigns
and his knights seek the Grail
Long live the king
who took the sword from the stone
His birth was foretold
by the greatest of wizards

Part XI: The Passing

There goes Arthur
to the Vale of Avalon
Deadly wounded
by his son
Departing slowly
with grievous wound
After avenge of
traitorous act
Out of sight
of weeping queens
Arthur fell in a swoon
next to dead Modred
Would he not return
pray for his soul
The sword will remain
by the lady of the lake
I will take the sword
Long live the king

Olli Kivelä image

Olli Kivelä Finland

I'm a metalhead who likes fast tempo, heavy riffs, epic orchestrations and a nice balance of clean and growling vocals. In most of areas I'm self-taught. I'm also a DIY enthusiastic. I like to make my gear myself and I like to compose, arrange, play, sing, produce, record, mix, and master all my music myself.

You can find me also in Spotify, Apple Music, and Youtube. ... more
