Dan Bull - King of Avalon lyrics

Greetings, let me tell you something

The prophets say today is a historic day
As we're marching through the forest glade
Straight as the most honest blade
Across your heart, you've made a promise
Break it and you're going to pay
Arthur's dead, not gone away
Put some respect on his name
The ancient scriptures tell of a king
Who came to lift Excalibur
This is a man of a different calibre
Ready to rip any challenger
Daring to enter within his parameters
They're going to witness calamities
He isn't just keeping his kingdom
He'll even be shifting realities
With a plan to silence any
Dissidence and damn defiance
He'll blow your Grand Alliance to
The wind like dandelions
Some of us are warlords
Some are more men of science
Some will summon up all manner
Of abominable dragon giants
No man is an island though
We'll have to plan as an allegiance
Tighten up those fractured ties
By marriage of convenience
Our empire's a garden and
We're gathering ingredients
Our partners will comply by
Either treaty or obedience
Should they have a grievance
With our agreements
They can bring it to the King
Whereby the King will bring his
Edict and believe me, it'll sting

Try and put a sword to the sorcerer, Morgana
You're sure going to be sore in the
Morning a Mordred with more mana
A raw heart, torn apart
We stormed the castle wall at last
Foresaw that Arthur would be reborn or
Is it all a farce? It's not an area for
Librarians or parlamentarians
It's far scarier when you're
Embroiled with barbarians
So don't sleep without a shield
Don't leave a ploughless field
No, don't even scout if you're not
Out to feel pounding steel
See you're sweating, your feet are dragging
I can see you're that reluctant
To meet my dragon
The medieval weapon of mass destruction
I give the order, invade and ignite
Calling forth flame from the sky
'Til they who lie beyond the horizon
Spy your city ablaze at night

From Avalon to Babylon, we vow to battle on
Clap back against the Saxons
Sacking any town we happen on
Leave one inhabitant alive with a
Battle cry to pass along
Give up the fight or you'll have to die
Slain like the track I rap upon
All you can do is clap along, it's KIA
High five
KOA, they came to claim my prize? Nice try
They who invade our castle feel regret
Whoever tries
They may have slain King Arthur
But legends never die

March quickly, our city's
Beating heart's being torn out of history
March deftly, directly
Into the path of our arch nemesis' siege
March briskly, our city's
Beating heart's being torn out of history
March swiftly, march with me
We lead the charge into war, seizing victory
