Oh Isle of Avalon walk with me
Oh Isle of Avalon set me free
Give me the power to strengthen my knees
Give me your freedom of curiosity.
Send me to your setting sun
Show me to paradise Oh Avalon
Take me through your rich green meadows
Let me explore your lost gone shadows.
Enchant me with your brilliant beauty
Let your breeze run through my hair
Rise me up upon my feet
Wash me purely from despair
While distant ghostly soldier stare.
Let me dance on soft dewy grass
Where the floating glass palace awaits
Tis the day my eyes reach this
As I believe in the Land of Cakes.
Blast me in folklore
Oh dreamland to the west
And show me the truth of
Ancient medieval myths.
Through swamps and marshes I arise
Land of Ogyias secret surprise
Forever last the golden age
Sweet land of plenty, the land youth reigns.
Oh Cam River let me glide
The rocks and waves shall be my guide
I want to see that one last battle
I'd like to hear their armor rattle
The horses hooves, the soldiers roar
I'll stand behind a see-through door.
And finally to Camelot the legendary court
I'll hide in the campfires of their fort
And listen to stories of truth and ways
To use their experience for later days.
Oh land of youth please take my hand
Just show me how to understand
Show me peace of Avalon
Let me rise up with the dawn
Take me to the forgotten stream
The stream I loved, my stream of dreams.
