I Am Excalibur

[INTRO / WHISPERED OMEN] Tha mi beò anns an stàilinn dhorcha I never sleep, I only wait Kings are born to feed my hunger Fate is just another blade [VERSE 1] Tha mi a’ coimhead tro shùil na h-aoise ann am fuil is ceò na cogaidh I saw the first crown fall to dust I saw empires drown in silence mi, an claidheamh gun tròcair no nàire a’ gearradh eachdraidh ann an dà tha gach linn na sgàil fo mo lann tha gach rìgh dìreach guth a thèid seachad Arthur comes — a trembling spark a boy wrapped in borrowed breath but I already know his path he walks inside my sharpened death [PRE-CHORUS] tha an saoghal a’ lùbadh ri mo thoil tha an fhuil a’ seinn mo ainm a-rithist [CHORUS] I AM EXCALIBUR — I AM THE CROWN OF WAR I HAVE NO MASTER, I AM THE LAW I CUT THROUGH TIME, I BREAK THE SKY KINGS ARE JUST SHADOWS THAT PASS AND DIE I AM EXCALIBUR — THE THRONE OF BONE AND FIRE EVERY OATH BECOMES MY DESIRE BRITAIN WILL BOW, THE WORLD WILL LEARN I AM THE EDGE WHERE EMPIRES BURN [VERSE 2] Camelot rises like fragile gold built on stories I once told round tables spin in blind belief they call it honor — I call it grief each knight a candle I can snuff each vow a chain I forge and cut I whisper through the halls of stone “you are never truly your own” Arthur smiles — he thinks he leads but I am the hand behind his deeds every victory, every name is written inside my blade of flame [PRE-CHORUS] tha a h-uile rathad a’ tilleadh rium tha a h-uile cogadh a’ crìochnachadh rium [CHORUS] I AM EXCALIBUR — I AM THE CROWN OF WAR I HAVE NO MASTER, I AM THE LAW I CUT THROUGH TIME, I BREAK THE SKY KINGS ARE JUST SHADOWS THAT PASS AND DIE I AM EXCALIBUR — THE THRONE OF BONE AND FIRE EVERY OATH BECOMES MY DESIRE BRITAIN WILL BOW, THE WORLD WILL LEARN I AM THE EDGE WHERE EMPIRES BURN [BRIDGE] Tha mi a’ cluinntinn guthan anns an stàilinn they scream beneath my frozen mind Arthur… Arthur… you are nothing but a shape I chose to bind yet something stirs within the boy a flicker I cannot command for the first time in eternal war I feel a tremor in my hand (do I rule… or am I damned?) [FINAL PRE-CHORUS] tha an stàilinn a’ briseadh annam fhèin tha an cumhachd a’ tionndadh na aghaidh [FINAL CHORUS / GRAND FINALE] I AM EXCALIBUR — I WAS THE CROWN OF WAR BUT SOMETHING BREATHES THAT I CAN’T IGNORE I CUT THE WORLD, I RULED THE TIDE BUT NOW THE EDGE… HAS TURNED INSIDE I AM EXCALIBUR — STILL FIRE, STILL BLOOD BUT THE THRONE IS SINKING IN THE FLOOD BRITAIN WILL RISE — OR FALL FROM ME AND EVEN STEEL CAN LEARN TO BLEED
