Return of the King Songtext
von 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
