1
Through the mists of Avalon
We see where those in love have gone.
Druids with romantic charms
Must seek the mists of Avalon
Give Galahad your bed, King Arthur;
Barrenness will end your reign.
�Neath the sheets is only part of
Pastures fed with fertile grain.
CHORUS:
Let them lie, let them beg,
Let them find return to clay.
Send them Sight, send them plague,
Send them sentimental grave.
Spell me Merlyn, spell me Morgaine,
Christians scorn your ancient way.
Quest and torture bless this fortress,
Jester, sorcerer, Passion Play.
2
Speak not incest to poor Arthur
Keep your hateful litany.
Such a penance helps empower
Christians through all Brittany.
Guinevere, you lie in bed
A-cleaving to your Lancelot.
Get thee to a nunnery,
You�ve lost your precious Camelot
CHORUS
3
Merlyn�s wisdom lives forever
Though he hears not what you say
Plants plucked from the land of Faerie
Please the Lady of the Lake
Through the mists of Avalon
We see where those in love have gone.
Druids with romantic charms
Must seek the mists of Avalon.
Let them lie, let them beg,
Let them find return to clay.
Send them Sight, send them plague,
Send them sentimental grave.
