Return Of The King

Bruce Dickinson

A 100 years of toil and pain

To pull a stone upright again

Uproot from its mountain home

Taken to this sacred circle



Is there a secret in the stone?

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 from the beltane fires



I know the king will come again



When all that glitters turn 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 the 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 turn to rust



Uther pendragon standing fast beside you

Is that a shadow on the hill?

Or a phantom in the mere

What is the 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 turn to rust



Uther pendragon standing fast beside you

I know the king will come again

I know the king will come again
