Lyrics
In the sacred groves where the old gods dwell
Where ancient spirits cast their spell
Young Guinevere danced through morning light
Wild and free, a pagan's child bright
By the mystic lake where waters shine
She met a boy whose heart matched mine
Lancelot from distant shore
Two young souls who loved before
The wheel of fate keeps turning round
Love and loss are always found
What the gods have blessed in secret
Mortal men will tear apart
In the flames of forbidden fire
Burns our wild and beating heart
At sixteen sold for kingdom's peace
Her father's wars would finally cease
Baptized tears on holy ground
A pagan soul in white gown bound
Arthur ruled with golden crown
But never saw her spirit drown
She was his queen, his precious stone
But in his heart she stood alone
The wheel of fate keeps turning round
Love and loss are always found
What the gods have blessed in secret
Mortal men will tear apart
In the flames of forbidden fire
Burns our wild and beating heart
When Arthur rode to distant war
We opened love's forbidden door
Like lightning splits the midnight sky
For this we'd live, for this we'd die
But Mordred's eyes saw what we'd done
Our secret love beneath the sun
They bound me to the burning stake
Called me whore for passion's sake
Through smoke and flame and jeering crowd
Thunder hooves rang strong and loud
My knight came riding through the fire
Love fulfilled our hearts' desire
Now the wheel has stopped its turning
We are done with all the burning
What the gods blessed in beginning
Nothing more can tear apart
By the lake we've found our freedom
Here beats our eternal heart
In the sacred groves where old gods dwell
Free from any mortal spell
Guinevere dances in the light
Wild and free, forever bright
