lyrics

Narrator:

Arthur lies still
His lifeblood starts to spillover
While his knight Galahad
Quickly rides over

Galahad:

There’s not much time left my King
Is there something I can do?
I can’t save you

Arthur:

Take Excalibur home
Cast it to the seas
To the Lady of the Lake
Fulfill the prophecy

Narrator:

Galahad walks
Beside the shoreline
With Excalibur in hand
It’s power divine

He throws it to the seas
And he watches it fly
And splash in the water
Something catches his eye

It’s the Lady of the Lake
She smiles and winks
Submerges back down
As Excalibur sinks

The sun begins to rise
And the wind brings a chill
As the prophecy of man
Has been finally fulfilled

Hive Mind
by Keor

Wow, somehow Hive Mind reminds me of Zelda-kind magic. The album carries some exciting, non-defineable potions of music fantasy, I guess this is what a metamorphosis between machine & nature sounds like. Marvelous! birdistheword

New to these guys. Bought all the albums. Beautiful music and vocals. Particularly Pete Jones. I’m not at all religious, indeed I have no time for it, but this is very lovely. Stephen Clark
