Magellan - Magna Carta lyrics

I. magna carta overture (instrumental) Ii. declaration John the king of england Duke of normandy (count of aquitaine) Spoke to all his subjects Declaring freedom and reform in this present charter... Iii. status quo In the first place it is our will Before we quarrel there are rights to instill Upon our heirs, confirmed with grace The english church shall stand in faith If any earl or baron dies And owes us relief we will rectify Our binding words to the sons under age: "we'll hold it in trust - your inheritance is saved." The guardian of the land will now answer to us. Assignable for husbandry and wardship. The treaty of the magna carta will ensure this. Iv. reform City of london have all your liberties Free customs and furthermore; petition counsel That no a**essment shall reach into the pockets Of the common man We respect the rights of the common man We must respect the rights of the common man..... No witch hunt executions to be held in the shadows No trivial crimes shall condemn one to the gallows All evil customs, warrens, sheriffs, shall be abolished All hostages will be released In the the final hours of this decadence we must defeat 'cause it's not too late for the future Stand back - look around It's a time for peace not a time for war or for judgement Summon all, listen to my order! This fifteenth day of june in runnymeade All must coincide as the magna carta is ratified..... V. restoration Should a man transgress this charter We'll judge in fairness with law and order Time for the kingdom to be granted all these things Wishing betterment for allies, with security. Liberty of conscience is finally restored as the Magna carta is moving forward in this restoration From such a young man his great awakenings has Saved our homeland..... In a modern world we still must fight to learn the Lessons that prolong our plight The history of those before should help us now but We choose to ignore Explore the new ground - discovery We know the answers but no one sees We are so close but we stand so far From the restoration - the nearest star The hour of restoration is now upon us We measure the time all history to the present the Magna carta Trust of the ancient living. City of london have all your liberties, free customs And furthermore Petition counsel that no a**essment shall reach into The pockets of the common man. We restored the rights of the common man We have restored the rights of the common man...
