Lyrics

Merlin's song - extract from musical Arthur and Merlin

Genres: Classical, Folk, Blues

Merlin

Many years have I been here
Trapped by my sin, King’s lust and yet
Now I set down my memoirs here 
lest we forget, lest we forget. 


How did I get here?
The story is long.
Full of dark acts,
some brave deeds 
and sadly…
some wrong.

A wizard in Britain
an Isle under siege.
Just doing his best for 
his Country and Liege.

Deception of one King
another betrayed.
The cards were dealt well
but the hand poorly played.

Half sisters, half brothers
the Crown in between.
With a scheming witch mother
a succubi e’en.

The tale began
one Christmas Night
when the cold moon arose
sending stars into flight.

The lust of one King 
for another’s wife was strong.
To preserve a great bloodline
I committed great wrong.

Many years have I been 
In this cave where I grieve
Tricked and betrayed
By the sorceress Naivh.

But that is my history
Much time has gone
Now hear the full tale
Of Arthur in song.

A great but tragic King!
