Now rest your head The time has come To sail away to a distant haven For all’s been said And all’s been done Let the barge lead you to the Raven Nine ladies veiled in black Will dry your tears for all time So lay down on your bed of gold Waiting till the kingdom needs you In a world sheltered by the mists Land of gods, faery folk and fantasy Sacred isle of eternal bliss We’ll take you back Back to Avalon One last rite One final chord And then you can sleep in safety Your most loyal knight
Must take your sword And return it to the Lady A hand in white brocate Will rise up from the water Taking it down majestically Waiting till the kingdom needs it In a world sheltered by the mists Land of gods, faery folk and fantasy Sacred isle of eternal bliss You’re going back Back to Avalon In a world sheltered by the mists Land of gods, faery folk and fantasy Sacred isle of eternal bliss We’re going back Back to Avalon Back to Avalon Back to Avalon...
