I've lost my battle before it starts
My first breath wasn't done
My spirit's sunken deep
Into the ground
Why am I alone
I can hear my heartbeat
Silence's all around

See hate will rise
So don't come closer
Fear your child
Born with a king's heart
But fate fooled me
And changed my cards
No one asked if I want it
If I liked it

Pain inside is rising
I am the fallen one
A figure in an old game
No Joker's on my side
I plunged into misery
I'll turn off the light
And murder the dawn
Turn off the light
And murder the dawn

Nothing else
But laughter is around me
Forevermore
No one can heal me
Nothing can save me
I've gone beyond the truth
It's just another lie
Wash away the blood on my hands
My father's blood
In agony we're unified

I never wanted to be
What they told me to be
Fulfill my fate than I'll be free
God knows how long
I tried to change fate

Pain inside is rising
I am the fallen one
A figure in an old game
No Joker's on my side
I plunged into misery
I'll turn off the light
And murder the dawn
Turn off the light
And murder the dawn

I plunged into misery
I'll turn off the light
And murder the dawn
Turn off the light
And murder the dawn!

Hush, child, the darkness will rise from the deep,
And carry you down into sleep
Child, the darkness will rise from the deep,
And carry you down into sleep.

Guileless son, I'll shape your belief
And you'll always know that your father's a thief
And you won't understand the cause of your grief
But you'll always follow the voices beneath.

Loyalty, loyalty, loyalty, loyalty
Loyalty, loyalty, loyalty only to me.

Guileless son, your spirit will hate her
The flower who married my brother, the traitor
And you will expose his puppet behavior
For you are the proof of how he betrayed her.

Loyalty, loyalty, loyalty, loyalty
Loyalty, loyalty, loyalty only to me.

Hush, child, the darkness will rise from the deep
And carry you down into sleep
Child, the darkness will rise from the deep,
And carry you down into sleep.

Loyalty, loyalty, loyalty, loyalty
Loyalty, loyalty, loyalty only to me.

Guileless son, each day you'll grow older
Each moment I'm watching my vengeance unfold
The child of my body, the flesh of my soul
Will die in returning the birthright he stole.

Loyalty, loyalty, loyalty, loyalty
Loyalty, loyalty, loyalty only to me.

Hush, child, the darkness will rise from the deep
And carry you down into sleep
Child, the darkness will rise from the deep,
And carry you down into sleep.

Loyalty, loyalty, loyalty, loyalty
Loyalty, loyalty, loyalty only to me.

You must be getting pretty tired
Of the man who once inspired you
Going back on what he asked you to believe
All the promises of power
From his glittering ivory tower
Where's the height that he once told you you'd achieve?

Those other men believe what you and I will never see
But I say why believe in place of proof?
Let those others keep on praying
You know I'm only saying
What the others are afraid might be the truth

Well, they say nothing grows
'Til the oak has hit the ground
So let's clear the way, my boys
And let the giant come crashing down

Where are all the things you fought for?
All the dreams you shed your blood for?
Are they shabby now and fraying at the seams?
Was this your boyhood vision
To endure the world's derision
While the culprit sits and laughs behind the scenes?

Well, they say nothing grows
'Til the oak has hit the ground
So let's clear the way, my boys
And let the giant come crashing down

Let us cleanse this farce with fire
Strike the fool who leads the liar
Let it all come crumbling down
Like the firebird from the ashes
We will rise to lead the masses
The strongest will emerge to wear the crown

Well, they say nothing grows
'Til the oak has hit the ground
So let's clear the way, my boys
And let the giant come crashing down

[War between brothers - Heather Dale]

This one's a nobleman, this one's a squire
One man will sing in the heavenly choir
One will descend into hell's licking fire
But to tell which is which would take better than I

This one's a father, and this one's a son
One man was right and the other was wrong
But both of them died in the maddening throng
Carry them home, boys, to where they belong

War between brothers
Sire fighting son
Only division where once there was one
War between brothers
Son fighting sire
Kin laid with kin in the funeral pyre

These two were blinded by jealousy's flame
One pointing fingers the other to blame
One lived in rage and the other in shame
But which was the better of what they became?

War between brothers
Sire fighting son
Only division where once there was one
War between brothers
Son fighting sire
Kin laid with kin in the funeral pyre

This one's a bastard, and this one's a king
Both fought for power and what it would bring
But fighting each other they lost everything

[Mordred's song - Grave Digger]

Bound to ride to Camelot
Heading for the throne
Pretending integrity
Too late one will know
Day by day at Arthurs side
Playing his role
Day by day at Arthurs side
Closer to his goal

Warrior with royal blood
Longing for the reign
Descended from a witches breed
Witchcraft in his veins

Leader of the underworld
Ruler of the night
Deceiver of kings
Deceiver of knights
Keeper of the secret reich
Keeper of the light
I am Mordred King of the night

The nephew is a viper
No one realizes
His tongue spares the truth
His eyes hypnotyze
He injects the poison slowly
Starts to mesmerize
Gathering the troops around him
All are magnetized

[Mordred's Lair - Trevor Jones]
