Bruce Dickinson - Return Of The King Lyrics






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

    Albúm sensacional! Saudações do Brasil!!!

    ブルース・ディキンソンはこのアルバムでアイアンメイデンを超えた。できれば、その後の進化をみたかった

  3. D.... L....

    Bruce was just embarrassing and shaming Maiden at this point. They had to bring him back!

  4. R.... S....

    Too fucking awesome, this pre chorus and chorus gives me the chills!

  5. �.... 5....

    Aragorn´s song

  6. O.... B....

    I wanna believe this is about LotR just because of the 'all that glitters' line. And the title obviously

    O.... B....

    I used to think about that, but he says Uther Pendragon in the chorus.

  7. �.... K....

    Sounds like another version of "Machine Men".

  8. h.... r....

    Love this song. I wish there were more (good) Arthurian themed metal tunes like this

    h.... r....

    Blind Guardian has some songs about it.

  9. E.... ....

    IS THAT A SHADOW  ON THE HHHHHIIIILLLLLLLLLL

  10. b.... b....

    @Vlad Tepes

    Accident of Birth, The Chemical Wedding and A Tyranny of Souls are all kickass albums.

  11. j.... ....

  12. N.... F....

    moonchild intro

  13. R.... R....

    I don't know how this was left off the original release. What a grand song it is!

    R.... R....

    That's exactly what I was thinking...
    I'll give it another listen now. :)

    R.... R....

    I got this album the 1st week it was released: the Alchemist was the last track. (And a perfect ending, btw)

  14. F.... ....

    Great song. I wish it was on the US album version.
