Guenevere lyrics

SOLO Oh, they found Guenevere With her bold cavalier And as swords rang through the hall Lance escaped them, one and all On a day dark and drear Came to trial Guenevere Ruled the jury for her shame She be sentenced to the flame CHORUS Early dawn was the time She would pay for her crime Or would Lancelot reappear Come and rescue Guenevere? SOLO I'll wager the king himself is hoping he will return Why would he have chosen five AM for the queen to burn? When the world is black and gray, what time would be more ideal For Lancelot to steal Guenevere? CHORUS As the dawn filled the sky On the day she would die There was wonder far and near Would the king burn Guenevere? SOLO Then suddenly earth and sky were dazed by a pounding roar And suddenly through the dawn an army began to pour And lo, ahead the army, holding aloft his spear Came Lancelot to save his dear Guenevere CHORUS By the score fell the dead As the sky turned to red Countless numbers felt his spear As he rescued Guenevere In that dawn, in that gloom More than love met its doom In the dying candle's gleam Came the sundown of a dream Guenevere, Guenevere In that dim, mournful year Saw the men she held most dear Go to war for Guenevere Guenevere, Guenevere Guenevere, Guenevere Saw the men she held most dear Go to war for Guenevere Guenevere, Guenevere, Guenevere
