"Excalibur" lyrics

Once upon a time there was child that devoured the sun
Please forgive him, for he knows not what he has done
Leaving his kingdom in the dark and lonely twilight
He'd just begun

Now the sky goes dark
And there's no fire if there's no flame to spark
Out of luck
No we're locked in this endless night
We're stuck

I miss the warmth, but the moon looks stunning
I'd chase the sun but it keeps on running
Running farther, farther away
And it keeps on running
Farther, farther away
And it keeps on running

Running so far away from me
Chasing it 'til my feet will bleed
Incinerated, my skin starts blistering

Give me something to burn for
Some crusade to fight for
A kingdom of my own
A story set in stone

I can't be your knight in shining armour
Not anymore
I've dulled and lost my lustre
That I had before
I'll glow brighter, brighter than before

Now this kingdom's done
There's no king or queen ruling above
It's all ours
A throne unseated is like a flightless dove

I miss the warmth, but the moon looks stunning
I'd chase the sun but I'm done running
Running farther, farther away
And it keeps on running
Running away

Baby, this ain't chivalry
Given you every drop of blood in me
And I can't give anymore
I'd lay down my life for you
I'd be a shield and die for you
As many times as you needed me to

My armour no longer shines and the lustre is gone
Oh, princess do you mind, I won't fight anymore
And now that you're gone, I just don't understand
What my bravery is for if this is how it ends

I can't be your knight in shining armour
Not anymore
I've dulled and lost my lustre
That I had before
But princess, you will find
I'm just the same inside
And I'll glow brighter than before

I can't be your knight in shining armour
Not anymore
I've dulled and lost my lustre
That I had before
But princess, you will find
I'm just the same inside
And I'll glow brighter than before

Brighter than before
