lyrics

Gold is a curse
Save the gold of the sun
Coin in your purse
It's like a weight on your mind
To rule is a burden
To lead is divine
Our people are scattered
Without a spine

With grievous abandon
Our center has died
The warring states
They do divide
So where is the Sage
To bathe us in light

Avalon's light

Between two kingdoms
Is a wretched abyss
We must defend against
The decay of nobleness
The way to freedom
Is a kiss of control
And guidance is beauty
When it tunes your soul

With grievous abandon
Our center has died
The warring states
They do divide
So where is the Sage
To bathe us in light

The light of the stone
And the light of the blade
The light of the cauldron
And the light of the stave
