Blackmore's Night Crowning of the King

Crowning of the king

Down in the village streets
The air is full of wonder
Fair smiles greet
The crowning of the king�
Come hither, gather round
A joyous time's upon us
Trumpets sound
The crowning of the king�

Fast away the olde
Time too quickly passes
Shine the light of new
For the crowing of the king�
Come forth those who wish
For change and change becoming
Welcome with every breath
The crowning of the king�

Sweet is the hour and sweeter still
The time we spend together
Celebrate the noble will
The crowning of the king�
To sing and dance and sing again
With honor and with splendor
All from far and near-
See the crowning of the king!

Step to the dance of hope
Of courtly wiles and pleasure
As the star of the morn
Shines brightly for the king�

Pray thee lift the veil
From those who came before us
Merriment will prevail
For the crowning of the king�

Sweet is the hour and sweeter still
The time we spend together
Celebrate the noble will
The crowning of the king�

To sing and dance and sing again
With honor and with splendour
All from far and near-
See the crowning of the king!
Jesters spin and play
The laughter sounds like music
What a perfect day
For the crowning of the king�

Here in the village streets
The air is full of wonder
Fair smiles greet the crowning of the king�
Come and see the crowning of
