Haunted Shores

Herodias and I have led a phantom cavalcade

Through veiled and pagan history

Where superstitions reigned

And Christendom sought to pervert

But poets of my nameSang of penumbral victories

That sorcery had claimed

The Graal and mighty Caliburn

As votive offerings to an England re-arisen

Under vast majestic wingsThese are the shores whereto my soul

Blood drenched and unredeemed

Shalt seek solace in secrets told

Through the whispers of a dreamFrom the woods Pendragon, born

I rose Arcturius a proud, audacious King

Mantled in the vehemence of lustDeath and destiny undaunted me

I drew a throne divided

In awe of the glorious battles won

My dark Goddess providedThen treachery, a wingless beast

Came crawling to my court

And now I lie at cursed Camlann

From wounds a traitor wroughtI fear the Augean light

Is sweeping through Camelot

How bittersweet my triumphs seem,

Now Autumnal leaves succumb to frost

Morganna art thou near me?Languid, I wend my path to grave

Cast my sword to the sulphyd grasp

Of the naiad neath the silvered lake

When waters stirred lay silentMistress let the mists descend

Thy tears cannot thaw Death's cold heart

His sombre gaze defies legend

More so than thine, else thy dew-lidded eyesArt for the Banshees song

Or our souls entwined like vein upon

The haunted shores of Avalon

The haunted shores of AvalonBury me in velvet dream

Lest I unduly wake

And seek to reconcile my thirst

With the cowardly tailors of my fateUnleash mastiffs of snarling night

To overthrow, plague and burn

As slumber lures me 'mongst the dead

To scheme of my returnArchaic ghostly echoes breathe

Like thunder of the storm

A tempest fools miscall divine

As they crouch awaiting dawnTheir ignorance has forged for

Me over centuries a sword

Burnished to flash like lightning

On the precipice of warThe wolves are dead in Albion

Whilst the passive flocks roam free

This my penetrant spearhead shalt pierce

These foul, trespassing breeds
