[D'Orlando / Cecconi]
Nine moons went by
And I look into your eyes
Nine moons went by
And I hold you in my arms
I name thee Mordred
Lost in the forest
Lost beneath the waning moon
Twice I've seen her face
And to me she carries the news:
"Morgaine Lefay, dearest of my lot
The winter cold will bring a son
To fairy land of Avalon"
I'll name thee Mordred
I'll name thee Mordred
[Chorus:]
Nine moons went by
And I look into your eyes
I hold your tiny hands
That will guide men at arms
Nine moons went by
And I hold you in my arms
Welcome my child in this world
That will turn your pure heart
Lost in the forest
I have called upon her name
Lady of the lake
Then she came and spoke to me
Words of warning
"Morgaine Lefay, dearest of my kind
k** the your baby in the cradle
Or never let him see the light"
I'll name thee Mordred
I'll name thee Mordred
[Chorus:]
Nine moons went by
And I look into your eyes
I hold your tiny hands
That will guide men at arms
Nine moons went by
And I hold you in my arms
Welcome my child in this world
That will turn your pure heart
Forever thankful for your life
To me my child
Because I brought you into this world
So cold
That will turn you in to an evil man
I name thee Mordred.
(Son of a king, blood inpure of king and witch)
I name thee Mordred
(Son a king, blood impure of brother and sister)
I name thee Mordred.
Nine moons went by
And I look into your eyes
Nine moons went by
And I hold you in my arms
