LANCELOT track 3 - The Heart I Must Deny (Lancelot)
[Verse 1] I thought one glance would fade in time A foolish thought I'd leave behind But every time I heard her name It set my desperate heart aflame I knew the line I could not pass I knew the King I swore to serve So every day I tried to last But every thought returned to her [Verse 2] Her smile can stop me where I stand Her voice can shake my steady hand I've faced the charge of horse and steel But cannot fight the way I feel I know that I should turn away But still I watch her every day What started as a passing flame Now burns each time I hear her name [Chorus] I'll stand with Arthur till the end My King, my brother and my friend I gave my word, I gave my blade I will not break the vows I made But there's another truth inside A love I cannot cast aside So every day I live the lie And hide the heart I must deny [Verse 3] I call him King, but more than that I know the friend beneath the Crown He met me when I first arrived And never once has let me down I'd ride beside him into flame And gladly die to serve his name But once my armour leaves my side It's Guinevere who fills my mind [Chorus] I'll stand with Arthur till the end My King, my brother and my friend I gave my word, I gave my blade I will not break the vows I made But there's another truth inside A love I cannot cast aside So every day I live the lie And hide the heart I must deny [Verse 4] I know how foolish love can be And what desire can make me see But she finds a reason now to stay A little longer every day We speak as though there's nothing there Yet both seem careful, both aware Still sometimes in her eyes I see A sign she feels the same as me [Bridge] Could there be somewhere we could go Beyond the lives we've come to know? Somewhere our hearts can both be known Somewhere our love could stand alone No whispered words, no hidden signs Her hand forever held in mine [Chorus] I'll stand with Arthur till the end My King, my brother and my friend I gave my word, I gave my blade I will not break the vows I made But there's another truth inside A love I cannot cast aside So every day I live the lie And hide the heart I must deny [Chorus] I'll stand with Arthur till the end My King, my brother and my friend I gave my word, I gave my blade I will not break the vows I made But there's another truth inside A love I cannot cast aside So every day I live the lie And hide the heart I must deny Hide the heart I must deny The heart I must deny
