Return of the King (2001 Remastered Version) Lyrics

A 100 years of toil and pain
To pull a stone upright again
Uproot from its mountain home
Taken to this sacred circleIs there a secret in the stone?
A message in the hills
Is there a secret in the stones?
A message long agoI know the king will come again
From the shadow to the sun
Burning hillsides from the beltane fires
I know the king will come again
When all that glitters turn to rustUther pendragon standing fast beside you
The sun the moon we worshiped here
A calendar of fear
Gazing across the channel sea
To see the beacons burning brightlyIs that a shadow on the hill?
Or a phantom in the mere
What is the meaning of these stones?
Why do they stand alone?I know the king will come again

From the shadow to the sun
Burning hillsides with the beltane fires
I know the king will come again
When all that glitters turn to rustUther pendragon standing fast beside you
Is that a shadow on the hill?
Or a phantom in the mere
What is the meaning of these stones?
Why do they stand alone?I know the king will come again
From the shadow to the sun
Burning hillsides with the beltane fires
I know the king will come again
When all that glitters turn to rustUther pendragon standing fast beside you
I know the king will come again
I know the king will come again
