Kamelot - Once And Future King Lyrics






Long time ago
The seed was sown
A child born in Uther's name
Conceived in sin
The future King
A new realm of truth proclaimed

They came from far
To meet this man
They saw he was just and wise
The flags unfold
The fires rise
Reflecting the hate in his eyes

Fighting for the crown
Pride and honor to be found

Born from sin
Into Merlin's hand
Once and future king
Vowed to return again

In moonlit haze
Among the hills
Sir Mordred, Morgana's shade
Would slay his king
Forever cling
To darkness his powers fade

Fighting for the crown
Pride and honor to be found

Born from sin
Into Merlin's hand
Once and future king
Vowed to return again

Bedivere, my best of knights
This sword I beg you take
To the place where it belongs
And throw it in the lake

Into the war
Forever more
The nation follow the chosen one
As when alive
His will survives
To rest on the island of Avalon

    Arthur: so ill kill you in the end because I love my trone more them anything else
    Mordread: my point exactly

  7. D.... D....

    I can't find this song on Spotify HELP

  8. B.... ....

    Carl Sagan brought me here.

  9. S.... V....

    Here because of fate/cero lol

  10. G.... D....

    For those curious about that solo at the end, it's an Iron Maiden' song: Different World.

  11. J.... A....

    The song that plays when you have all the Camelot servants in your party

  12. P.... B....

    This is not KARMA pls

    P.... B....

    It is, it was a bonus track for japan

  13. R.... X....

    Hands up all the Fate fans who came here from Cero xD

    R.... X....

    *raises hand*

  14. W.... M....

    Shout out to all fate cero fans who came here listening thx to it

    W.... M....

    Also very awesome song sadly I can't find it in my iTunes

  15. B.... L....

    Fate Cero brought me here

  16. V.... K....

    Hm. Blind Guardian does a better job in "A Past and Future Secret", but this is still pretty good.

    Also, I love the amount of Fate fans in this comment section.

    V.... K....

    I came here from a parody/Abridge of Fate/Zero. However I love the Mythos behind Sir Arthur King of England.

    V.... K....

    Van Kleiss sorry my friend, Kamelot is always better

    V.... K....

    @Jake Wilson Aye. I'll respectfully disagree.

    V.... K....

    Kamelot! blind guardian not interested

    V.... K....

    Both Kamelot and Blind Guardian do great inspired songs of the takes of the Arthur mythos.

    However Blind Guardian's songs are part of a greater story (Imaginations from the other side and Beyond the red mirror being all one story that they are telling)

  17. A.... ....

    Great. I can't hear the end of the song without it fading out into the sound of a car horn.

  18. M.... A....

    Uther had a child? What about the silver hand xDD

    M.... A....

    is that a reference from skyrim ?

    M.... A....

    Romeo X10000 world of warcraft

    M.... A....

    Iceax is that sarcasm or are you serious?

    M.... A....

    Romeo X10000 serious. the silver hand is an order of paladins in wow i belive

    M.... A....

    Iceax Indeed, it is.

  19. b.... ....

    This video was uploaded on my 17th birthday! \m/ -_- \m/ I am now 25..

  20. s.... ....

    The rest of the song sounds very different to the part used in Fate Cero. I like it.

  21. E.... N....

    Oh my god, I found it.

    E.... N....

    LokiSmokey Me too!

  22. A.... ....

    Oh, He HAS To Know We Want Him To Move.

  23. a.... ....

    Anyone else thinking of Fate/ Zero and Saber when listening to that? O.O

    a.... ....

    +Dragonblessed Productions Considering The Song It Literally About King Arthur, I'd Say Anyone Familiar With The Fate/Series Thought About Saber At Some Point

    a.... ....

    +Dragonblessed Productions Fate Cero (Fate Zero Abridged, basically) has this as their intro song. And it's amazing.

    a.... ....

    @HalfTangible I love how they put first the dominant one of each pair of Master/Servant

    a.... ....

    not rlly...i'm personally thinking of the real king arthur...

  24. T.... T....

    ...Fate/Cero

  25. Z.... N....

    Can you link a place where I can get this song or even E-mail me the MP3 file. I can't find a reputable site with it available...

  26. C.... ....

    I can see why this wasn't on the main album; it hardly sounds like the other songs on it.

    C.... ....

    Yet I'd say it's my favorite song from the band

  27. f.... 5....

    Lol me to

  28. L.... C....

    Fate/Cero brought me here.

    L.... C....

    +james vanitas Wait you mean I wasn't your first choice?

    L.... C....

    @Merrick Williams Now see here Diaper crotch!

    L.... C....

    +Naked Snake Same

    L.... C....

    I literally guessed which metal band and searched the only lyric I could pick out from the opening. Success!

    L.... C....

    Same here

  29. T.... ....

    Kamelot's song from the album "Karma". Thats said in the description, he in no way said its his own.

  30. m.... ....

    That coffin is three years late, it seems.

  31. g.... ....

    That solo is pretty good. Why was this a bonus track!?

  32. C.... ....

    Amazing track, too bad its not on the original album :(
    lol, Maiden in the end, I thought it was my spotify for a little while :P

  33. G.... ....

    Amazing track.

  34. T.... S....

    Best metal pre-chorus ever.

  35. M.... ....

    what the hell
    i have
    # The Fourth Legacy (1999)
    # Karma (2001)
    # Epica (2003)
    # The Black Halo (2005)
    # Ghost Opera (2007)

    how in earth......i never listen this song.................. is AWESOME!!!

  36. J.... M....

    this song is only for japan o r china dont remmember well

  37. x.... ....

    I love this version of Kamelot. I would never, ever want them to return to it, though. If they did, I don't think it would be any good. They have progressed too far.

  38. J.... E....

    haha. I was like, wtf?! when different world played...i had no idea at that time where that came from. xP

  39. r.... ....

    japanese bonus track, karma 2001, also found on myths and legends of kamelot

  40. R.... ....

    Nope, the Elizabeth songs were about Elizabeth Bathory. I'm sure the band Bathory is also named after her and her family... She was the biggest serial killer of her century. I think she killed like 650 girls and bathed in their blood. She thought that it would preserve her youth - she was afraid of getting old. She got caught though and died before her trial, I think...

  41. A.... ....

    Must be, because I have the Karma CD, and it isn't on there. Ne Pleure Pas is, but not this. Pity. It's a good song.

  42. s.... ....

    I think it's on the japanese only version of Karma. Might find it as an import but that might be kinda hard since Karma came out in 2001 lol

  43. O.... ....

    Yes, you're know right, I'm failed, it's a bootleg compilation. Sorry.

  44. r.... ....

    i think its to do with the songs elizabeth I,II,III.

  45. O.... ....

    Also available on the compilation album "The Myths and Legends of Kamelot" with other rarities like Season's End (bonus track of the album "Ghost Opera") , Ne Pleure Pas (french version of Don't you cry), Snow (bonus track of the album "Epica" ) and the album "Expedition"s three studio tracks: We are not separate/We three kings/One day.

  46. E.... A....

    wtf i bought the karma cd and this song isnt on it.

  47. J.... R....

    It's Elizabeth Bathory. She's who the last 3 tracks on the album are about if you didn't know.

  48. D.... M....

    does anyone know what the cover of karma is about? i dont know what its saying...

  49. F.... ....

    \m/_ _\m/

  50. S.... ....

    first time i hear of it, i tought i had listened to every kamelot songs

  51. T.... ....

    Once and Future King...vowed to return again!

  52. K.... ....

    where, exactly, do u see him claiming this as his own product? nowhere, ur just a foolish child wanting something to bitch and moan about, much like horror fans when it comes to remakes. u better learn to shut your mouth when u dont know what your talking about, the fish would never get caught if it never opened its mouth, and uve opened your mouth to get hooked into being an idiot

  53. K.... S....

    LOL how can you claim to have produced these things,a track illegally ripped and illegally posted with a picture from an album cover or such like isnt a production,you havnt produced anything at all,just broken about every copyright law tho,and is just another nail in youtubes coffin (read the site rules dumbass)

  54. K.... S....

    omg theres hundreds like this,what a waste of hardrive space,so basically you do this so you can post audio on a video site?

  55. I.... W....

    way underrated

  56. T.... ....

    One of their best!!!!!!

  57. D.... ....

    very good song!!!
