7. LADY OF THE LAKE When I see your face, your never-fading beauty I realize there's something so true We're standing by the water, me and Britain's king And longing for an answer from you I know the time will come, I know about my destiny The gates of the sealed cave are wide But nevertheless I need you to guide me through my life Always in my mind side by side And out of the silent water the magical sign appears The light, it dazzles your eyes - the hand out of the lake It offers the sword of the kings Here I stand again, in the middle of the battle The knight's crushing shield I can hear Man on man, like in a hero's tale With nothing ot harm or to fear Arthur's standing next to me, Excalibur clears the path Meeting his son here at last A neverending fight, but when the two are sinking down I'm sure that nothing will be like in the past And out of the silent water the magical sign appears The light, it dazzles your eyes - the hand out of the lake It takes back the sword of the kings Lady of the lake You're the lady divine that cared for Arthur's fate Lady of the lake Always hidden in the shadow, secret ruler of Avalon Lady of the lake We've been so long together in our life of mystery But I don't know why you left me here, my love So I am trapped here for all eternity Why aren't you with me, why have you left me Take me to Avalon and we'll be together as one Oh, my Lady of the lake Lady of the lake You're the lady divine that cared for Arthur's fate Lady of the lake Always hidden in the shadow, secret ruler of Avalon Lady of the lake We've been so long together in our life of mystery But you freed me And released me At last
