Shores Of Avalon

I never saw it coming

Somehow the heat of battle

Sure dulled my senses to the real world

Or was I dreaming?

She held my hand and knew me

She looked right through all I knew

Lie quiet, let the rain wash over me now

Inside the royal chambers

She's staring out her window

Tears well hidden by a crimson veil

This is the poison

Clutching a Turkish dagger

By the moonlight I feel it begin

I'm wounded, let the pain wash over me now

Loneliness again

Sits here alongside of me

Gotta make my way

To where the waters heal my wounds

I know this is where I'll stay

Too jaded by her deception

A trust I thought to believe

I just want to rest

And live out the best of my days

When I reach Avalon

Walking to my window

I'm feeling weak and so betrayed by all I've lost

I'm left here

To comprehend this strange barrage of lies

By the dawn's early light

The war had raged through the night

I turned to her I thought I heard her crying

I could see by her face

Before she laid to me waste

That there was someone she's dying for

Someone else out there besides me

I'm fading, let the fear drain away from me now

My fear's been broken

As the healing waters poured over me

And I begin to feel

Feel its magic strengthen me

I know this is where I'll stay

Can't take anymore deception

I just want peace in my heart

This calm I am feeling

I've never known until

Until I reach Avalon

Lie quiet, let the pain wash away from me now

No beginning or end

All of the roles we pass on through

I looked inside and I saw

My soul's my guide, I need to walk with you

I know this is where I'll stay

The world I've left behind

Has no place in my heart

I can finally rest

And live out the rest of my days

I'll never leave Avalon
