[Verse 1] Well Arthur fought a dragon once Or maybe it was three And Merlin turned the royal court Into a giant tree Sir Bedivere drank seven casks To save the kingdom's fate At least that's what I heard one night Outside a tavern gate [Chorus] Roll the drum and pass the ale Roll the drum and tell the tale Half is truth and half is lies Cedric's chronicles never die Roll the drum and sing along History remembers wrong Raise your cup and raise it high Cedric's chronicles never die [Verse 2] Now Arthur fell and Mordred fell Upon a bloody field One stabbed first and one stabbed back And neither man would yield The sword broke right in half they say Or maybe into four Depends upon the witness and How much he'd had before [Chorus] Roll the drum and pass the ale Roll the drum and tell the tale Half is truth and half is lies Cedric's chronicles never die Roll the drum and sing along History remembers wrong Raise your cup and raise it high Cedric's chronicles never die [Verse 3] Now Guinevere became the Queen Of all Britannia's land And somehow things improved a bit Though I don't understand She sent Morgause to a convent Morgan went as well Two separate holy houses To avoid another hell Sir Bedivere stood by her side To help the kingdom mend Advisor, guardian, loyal knight At least in the beginning Some folks say he shared her throne Some say he shared her bed And frankly after all I've heard Both stories might be true instead [Chorus] Roll the drum and pass the ale Roll the drum and tell the tale Half is truth and half is lies Cedric's chronicles never die Roll the drum and sing along History remembers wrong Raise your cup and raise it high Cedric's chronicles never die [Verse 4] Sir Percival still seeks the Grail Beyond the western sea Or maybe he's a fisherman It all sounds same to me Sir Gawain keeps a careful watch And carries old regrets While somewhere in a dusty hall A Green Knight waits and bets [Bridge] The kings are gone The wars are done The banners all came down But somehow every foolish tale Still wanders through the town And if tomorrow proves me wrong I'll simply change the page That's how a proper chronicler Survives from age to age [Final Chorus] Roll the drum and pass the ale Roll the drum and tell the tale Half is truth and half is lies Cedric's chronicles never die Roll the drum and sing along History remembers wrong Raise your cup and raise it high Cedric's chronicles never die [Outro] Cedric's Official Chronicle. Volume Four. Probably true this time.
