Finding the treasures that lay hidden in my lonely cave
Holding the secrets which were born inside this crystal grave I'm the seeker my mind's my tool Call me magician or fool... There's a place in the hills Where I practice my skills Bard of the unseen, a prophet- I'm Merlin My dreams are real I've seen it all in the stars I've heard it all in the wind There's a voice in the dark Making me answer the sign Only the Gods choose the time For the voice in the dark Take a look at the Falcon make sure that I'll follow its trail Leading through the Wild Forest, you know he's in search of the Grail I'm Merlin I know how to cope When visions appear in my globe The sorcerer in the black robe I am Merlin Though my face is a mask yet I know what's my task I'll be guardian of Arthur, the regent, the future king The fire of wisdom reveals me everything The mirror flashed, a vision passed As I heard voices sing... I'm always living alone An ancient cave is my home See the look in my eyes They think I'm a mysterious man Cause people do all they can To avoid evil eyes Making signs just to ward off enchantment but don't be afraid If you're ever in need of me I'll surely come to your aid I'vce been given the gift of the Sight I'm Merlin the Child of the Light My power can strike people blind I am Merlin |

Tintagel Castle, stronghold of king and refugee
Untouched by battles, armour of rocks high above the sea Silhouette sculptured by men and the winds Impregnable fortress, where legend begins Like a memory? Listen - I'll tell you the plan that's been made Dreamed by the gods, the dispensers of fate Waiting for you, Tintagel Night Soon you will fall and in your darkness we'll hide We shall go when the time is right Tintagel Castle, royal the love inside its walls I am the Falcon answering as the Dragon calls Ruler of knights let your wish be fulfilled Follow the tides, feel no anguish or guilt This was meant to be It was my mission to open the gate Guiding two ignorant servants of fate Then you appeared, Tintagel morn' Calm like the sea after a long raging storm Waiting for the child to be born... |

I've fashioned a sword, put it into a stone
I've sent it afloat, then the sea took it In the perilous chapel it waits For Arthur to raise it in front of you all With this token of power the nation won't fall It will shield you from evil and hate The Dragon died on that night, pointing out his successor The hidden son to all unknown, came to fight the agressor The knights must be convinced Challenging the prince He'll bring you peace and victory, so why all the harshness He'll unite the Kings and rule the land, bringing light after darkness But nobles won't accept until he proves the fact That the true King alone Can draw the sword from the stone Reaching out for the jewelled hilt, oh its burning like fire To take the sword and claim their rights is their only desire But failure shows them why There's more than meets the eye Arthur holds Excalibur, the invincible weapon To fight the wrong and serve the right, I know he'll make it happen This sword will make him stronger Never to be conquered Now the heir to the throne Has drawn the sword from the stone Now the King's unsurpassed as a leader of man There's a scar from his past which he'll bear till the end Like a curse it will last His own blood wants revenge |

Calling on your gift of eyes you're so confused
By this vague and trembling vision, how it hurts to face the truth? A reality you must accept, there's nowhere you can hide For everything will happen as the Gods have deviced You'll obey You'll move with the winds and confide in the sea The madman of the forest, just a ghost of what you once have been The King's enchanter Watching this comet with the Dragon's tail If the Falcon has to fall then let the rules of men prevail You're nothing but a wanderer obsessed by your dreams They're turning into nightmares 'cause the image you've seen Makes you scared You'll vanish like music to live on in song Lingering on the edge of life but still the world will never shun The King's enchanter |

You, my lady
You have saved me from solitude My dreams never could Come, then maybe I will teach you my magic arts The tale of the stars I've chosen you so listen to my song Love has stronger wings than reason Niniane, my lady of the lake Time has come for you to take my place The voice has fallen mute The fire has died within me I've lost the Sight, but who will mind If you'll succeed me The secrets remain locked in your heart forever My future's yours Sweet lady of the lake You betrayed me Stole my power- I was misled You took all I had What posessed me When I put all my trust in you Could not see you through Living on this isolated height Deprived of love, but I'll be alright Niniane, you've cast a spell on me A tortured man, why won't you set me free I'm buried alive Shut in this case of darkness There's no escape here from my grave My skills can't save me The legend will grow and I will withdraw forever But down my cheeks the melting sorrows flow? Feel the magic See your visions and dream your dreams You know what they mean I'm your spirit Just a word, just a breeze of air I'll always be there... |

Water and sand
An horizon beyond my view Alone I stand Hearing silence - it's calling you There is a reason to be here and cry I know the ocean will understand why I'm feeling the way I do Tasting the salt And the wind cries her name again Sharp and so cold Makes me feel I have lost a friend There is a reason that I'll never know I couldn't follow where you had to go And I can't comprehend The wind blows away my fears The ocean will drown all my tears Cause I've got to survive Though I need your loving here Seagull &endash; Take my love wherever you may fly Seagull - Carry all my feelings for her To a place somewhere in the sky |

Your car got stuck and it's nobody's fault but your own
Forget to refill, now it's night and you're all alone No living soul within a mile or ten Someone will come, but you don't know when Now all you've got's that faithful boogie heart You got no money and you got no place to go No gas, no booze, no girl, but just an old radio Then you don't have to worry how to spend the night Because you know it's gonna be alright And you may feel you've not been all that smart You still got your boogie heart Whenever you feel down and out Sorrow's leaving you in doubt Know that if you want to make it Then find a heart and take it 'Cause you just can't do without You still got your boogie heart And all you need is that boogie heart |

I tried to hide from the fire
But there's no place that I can go I tried to feel no desire But I only felt my love grow I need you so, without you I can't go on My life has got no direction You know I'm helpless from the moment you're gone I need you're loving and affection So I want you to stay and you know that I'll do Anything that you want me to Can't afford to lose Can't afford to lose your loving I can't afford to lose Can't afford to lose your loving I can't afford to lose Some people change their lovers and friends Just like old shoes and cigarettes Running around, their chase never ends Always trying to find their match No more illusions, got my feet on the ground 'Cause I'm chained by your attraction I couldn't live alone, I want you around Because I need your protection So I beg you to stay and you know that I'll do Anything that you want me to Can't afford to lose Can't afford to lose your loving I can't afford to lose Can't afford to lose your loving I can't afford to lose |

There was a time I could freely breathe the air
No matter where I went, you would always be there Carry me when I felt so tired I would almost fall Did we speak and did I hear your name? Feel no shame Feel no pain Wordless my poem, like a footprint in the snow Telling you more than you'd even care to know Passion came, I could not defend myself from you Did we dance and did we think the same Dream of fame Feel no pain Finally losing the fight we'd hoped to win Climbing too high, then the air got poor and thin Too late to turn back and too far run for cover, tell me Did we touch and did we play the game Take the blame Feel no pain Now should we take it as it is What lesson did we learn from this Though many dreams are lies untold I see a world as pure as gold Out there Istill believe it can be done To dance the rite of perfect song I tell myself this is a lie 'Cause masked dancers never cry Nor care I can't believe the things you've said What happened to the dreams we've had It must be some conspiracy Of love and hate and jealousy I don't know Your silken face still painted white A frozen mask, your hands are tied Cold winds blow The words will never come out right A frozen heart, still deep inside Love's aglow... |
