lyrics

In the age of lords as war raged ever on
As the heathen host harried the lonely isle
Came the time of Pendragon’s only son

Born in the black month, hail the winter king
Glorious new kingdom, dawn of the new spring
All hail the winter king
All hail the winter king

With old Uther dead time called for a new lord
Seasons of endless winter of cold and death
War rages on for the wolf, dragon, and boar

Son of kings, veins flow with Aurelian blood
Born of the dragon but heir to the eagle
Power within to fight the Saxon flood

To unite the kingdom all under one crown
Lord of the Britons in stone is his fate
The one and rightful heir, all bow down
