Return Of The King Lyrics

Bruce Dickinson Return Of The King

A 100 years of toil and pain
To pull a stone upright again
Uprooted from its mountain home
Taken to this sacred circle
Is there a secret in the stones?
A message in the hills
Is there a secret in the stones?
A message long ago

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 alt that glitters turns to rust
Uther pendragon standing fast
Beside you

The sun the moon we worshipped here
A calendar of fear
Gazing across the channel sea
To see the beacons burning brightly

Is that a shadow on the hill
Or a phantom in the mere
What is tne 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 turns to rust
Uther pendragon standing fast
Beside you
