Out the room, down the hall
Through the yard, to the wall
Slashing fiercely left and right
Lance escaped them and took flight
Arthur! Thank God!
They've arrested the queen
That child, that worm of a boy, Arthur
He could -
Pellinore, I know!
Well, do something!
She's under arrest
She's been accused of treason
Arthur, I understand you're angry -
She's been accused of breaking the law
She has to be judged
On a day dark and drear
Came to trial Guenevere
Ruled a jury for her shame
She'd be sentenced to the flame
They've returned the verdict
Guilty
Arthur, please
I'm an old man and I know I'm ridiculous
But for the love of God, it's Genny!
She broke the law, Pellinore (Yes)
A law signed by the king
So say the people
As the dawn filled the sky
On the day she would die
There was wonder far and near
Would the king burn Guenevere?
Your Majesty
Arthur! You're paralyzed!
Neither you nor I
Nor God Himself
Can stop this terrible thing that's been put in motion
What are you waiting for?
I'm waiting for what's inevitably coming next
Then suddenly earth and sky
Were dazed by a pounding roar
And suddenly through the dawn
An army began to pour
And lo, ahead the army
Holding aloft his spear
Came Lancelot to save his dear Guenevere
Majesty
Sentries report three hundred men are headed for the east gate
Should I double the guard?
That's Lancelot du Lac out there
And he's brought a battalion
Double the guard - triple the guard
Those guards are going to die tonight
By the score fell the dead
As the yard turned to red
Countless numbers felt his spear
As he rescued Guenevere
Majesty!
Most of the guard has been killed
Lancelot and his men have the queen
And they're headed for the Channel
Call up four thousand men from the west
And twelve thousand from the south
A state of war now exists
Between England and France
In the dawn, in the dew
Lord and love met its doom
In the dying candle's gleam
Came the sundown of a dream
Guenevere, Guenevere
Guenevere, Guenevere
So the men she held most dear
Don't you warn poor Guenevere
Guenevere, Guenevere
Guenevere
