"Knightfall" lyrics
Throughout endless dimensions of time
Must a father call
On the back of one-million beasts, he rides the sky
He's finally returned
Our king is back
Swords and maces clash
As armies meet their fate
Dragons fight the field
Like raging storms of hate
Pendragon's breath unleashed
Yelling for a fight
Doomed his undead rider
Who was once a noble knight
The vessel in his hand
To blind the enemies
The brightness of the Grail
Forced whole armies to their knees
Its magic coats the field
Glory to the Grail!
First fell of gloom
Seemed brighter than a day
When thousand men fell on their knees
Blinded by the brightness of the Grail
Magic spread upon the field
Never should their mighty army fail
Mercy on us - there's blood on the field
Have mercy - there's blood on my shield
There's blood on his shield - have mercy
Mercy on us - there's blood on the field
Have mercy - there's blood on my shield
First blood on his shield - have mercy
Lightnings split the sky
Above the battlefield
But after days of endless rage
The king refused to yield
Down - rush the dragon down
Smoke turned into flames
But still the king would hold his sword
And stand to fight again
My sword will guide you through the storm
My light will lead you through this war
And may it be our final day
We have not lived in vain
Mercy on us - there's blood on the field
Have mercy - there's blood on my shield
There's blood on his shield - have mercy
Mercy on us - there's blood on the field
Have mercy - there's blood on my shield
First blood on his shield - have mercy
Silence - is his only companion
As he walks on in the moon glow
Silence - as he's passing all the graves
Of those who are long gone
In the red snow
Glory to thee - oh mightiest of all
Thee who bled - thee who suffered
And heeded the call
Hail valiant king - we raise our Grail
To thy crown - to thy kingdom
Our quest shall not fail
Omens of time - that may lay ahead
Full of pain - full of tears
Years of sorrow and dread
"Nor yet beyond reason or hope shall we fall
All things have their season and mercy crowns all! "
