[Verse 1] Deep under Camelot Stone cold and blind Twenty winters on his bones Chains cut the dark in lines Uther lit the pyres The Great Purge took its toll Magic named as treason And fear sat on the throne [Pre-Chorus] Then Merlin came alone With ash upon his sleeve A boy with secret fire And a look Kilgharrah believed [Chorus] Dragonlord, wake up Dragonlord, stand tall The once and future king Still answers to the call Dragonlord, wake up Hear the old blood sing Arthur’s road is waiting Make him Once and Future King (Once and Future King) [Verse 2] Kilgharrah spoke in thunder Through the cracks in the cave He fed the hidden lore Like a torch passed to the brave Told him of the line Older than the crown Hands that bend the wild ones And bring the truth down [Pre-Chorus] “Your name is not your fate,” The dragon growled in flame “Guard the prince with patience Till the world remembers his name” [Chorus] Dragonlord, wake up Dragonlord, stand tall The once and future king Still answers to the call Dragonlord, wake up Hear the old blood sing Arthur’s road is waiting Make him Once and Future King (Once and Future King) [Bridge] Twenty years of darkness Could not hush that breath Old chains, old warnings Outlast steel and death Merlin, keep your vow now Walk the hard and right way For every fallen shadow There’s a dawn to claim [Final Chorus] Dragonlord, wake up Dragonlord, stand tall The once and future king Still answers to the call Dragonlord, wake up Hear the old blood sing Arthur’s road is waiting Make him Once and Future King (Once and Future King)
