Avalon Lyrics
Yeah..
Yeah...
Its time to even it up, I guess a round table weren't equal enough
You cant contain me with chains I'm free and I run free
Any enemy is coming with me when im done
Whatever's asked to me I perform,
I rip through the rain into the eye of the storm,
Still carrying the flame, eye of the torch,
Failure comes at a price I can't afford,
Never been half hearted I put my all in,
Forfeited all just to answer my calling,
Wearing the scars of the wars that I fought in,
I should've been heading for the stars but I'm falling,
I have your sword and cape
If you need them I'll be swimming in the lake,
Oh baby don't look down, just take the crown.
CHORUS
We'll be kings forever, oh oh oh,
Holding on together, oh oh oh,
Feeling so much better oh oh oh,
When everything was wrong and everything was gone
We ran to Avalon.
I fought till I had no fight left,
Risked my death,
Walked with conviction in everyone of my steps,
My strength's water enough,
To wash away any of the stains on my rep,
Yeah.. I fought off vultures,
Went against odds when I was short on soldiers,
I asked not for my burden to be lightened
but if I may have broader shoulders
so as I may carry the weight,
all the doubt I had in me has been allayed,
so from now til the day I'm carried away,
I will never walk around what stands in my way
Fuck if they ain't letting off cos neither will I
When I die from the ashes an eagle will rise
as long as my blade and my faith will keep me alive
Fear ain't something you will see in my eyes.
CHORUS
We'll be kings forever, oh oh oh,
Holding on together, oh oh oh,
Feeling so much better oh oh oh,
When everything was wrong,
and everything was gone
We ran to Avalon
I left competion out for the count, no abacus
Fought for the crown,
Thwart thy challengers
When my massacre was ordained I remained
and through pain forged my sword,
I left competion out for the count no abacus
Fought for the crown,
Thwart thy challengers
When my massacre was ordained I remained
and through pain forged my sword,
my Excalibur!
CHORUS
We'll be kings forever, oh oh oh,
Holding on together, oh oh oh,
Feeling so much better oh oh oh,
When everything was wrong and everything was gone
We ran to Avalon
