[Verse 1] I walked into Camelot tonight and found the kingdom dressed in white golden banners, shining walls such fragile things before they fall Arthur raised another cup and proudly drank his glory up I smiled and watched him praise his name while sparks danced close to open flame [Pre-Chorus] Some secrets sleep for many years some truths arrive with smiles, not tears [Chorus] There's poison in the blood, my friends where every royal story ends one whispered word, one hidden name and nothing ever stays the same There's poison in the blood tonight beneath your crowns and candlelight you call it fate, you call it pride I call it what you choose to hide [Verse 2] Guinevere, you wear your grace but I can read your careful face the queen may smile, the queen may reign yet even queens can carry pain And Morgan, sister, how you've grown still dreaming of a greater throne we both know power loves to wait behind a patient garden gate [Pre-Chorus] The sweetest fruit can hide decay the brightest path can lose its way [Chorus] There's poison in the blood, my friends where every noble lineage bends one missing truth, one broken vow and all your legends tremble now There's poison in the blood tonight beneath your honor, beneath your light you call it destiny above I call it fear dressed up as love [Bridge] I hear old voices in the hall the ghosts remember all of it all forgotten promises and lies still linger underneath the skies A kingdom built on shining stone can still be broken from the throne and blood remembers, blood recalls the cracks concealed behind these walls [Instrumental Break] [Final Chorus] There's poison in the blood, my friends and every golden story bends the wheel is turning, slow but sure of that at least, I am secure There's poison in the blood tonight beneath Excalibur's holy light the future waits behind the door and soon you'll know what all this was for [Outro] So drink your wine... sing all your songs... tell yourselves that all is well... I'll be watching... and smiling... all the same...
