Once And Future King lyrics

Hic iacet Arthurus Rex quondam Rexque futures A sleeping knight, I saw Dressed in silk and gold A shield, a sword aside His hands lying on his chest It was so long ago When wars ended his reign Fought against his own blood Doomed to lose it all I've been praying for so long Shed so many tears Over this cold stones My dear brother, my kin Hero and warrior brave Once and future king Majestic figure Marked by battles old Source of sacred power Affecting now my soul We had him taken here Life-drained and powerless We gave him rest and a future Here to be fulfilled I've been praying for so long Shed so many tears Over this cold stones My dear brother, my kin Hero and warrior brave Once and future king Now hear me! Oh Arthur! What am I to do? Mighty hero Once and future king
