Bruce Dickinson
"Return Of The King"

(B. Dickinson /A. Smith)

A hundred years of toil and pain
to pull a stone upright again
Uprooted from its mountain home
Taken to its sacred circle

Is there a secret in the stones?
A message in the hills
is there a secret in the stones?
A message long ago

CHORUS:
I know the king will come again
From the shadow to the sun
Burning hillsides with the beltane fires
I know the king will come again
When all that glitters turns to rust
Uther Pendragon standing fast beside you

I know the king will come again (x2)

The sun and moon, we worshipped here
a calendar of fear
Gazing across the channel sea
to see the beacon's burning brightly

BRIDGE:
Is that a shadow on the hill?
or a phanton in the mire?
What is the meaning of the stones?
Why do they stand alone?
