lyrics

Where has old Pendragon gone,
The one who climbed the tower?
Where has old Pendragon gone,
Who stalked the lady's bower?

Dead and gone from old Tintagel,
Gone the way of Vortigern;
Dead and gone from old Tintagel
Never to return.

A hundred men or more he slew,
One door he took to pieces;
A hundred forts he brake in two,
One woman forced to please him;

Dead and gone from old Tintagel,
Left behind his wedding ring;
Dead and gone from old Tintagel,
Poisoned at the spring

And now she don't belong to anyone
But now she knows she never should have done
It's time to set aside these wedding chains
Her husband's dead, the dragon's wed to the grave

And now the young Pendragon's come
To claim his father's title;
Now the young Pendragon's come
To lead her on a bridle;

Dead and gone, the widow's freedom
Mothers must be wed again;
Dead and gone, the widow's freedom
Poisoned by her son

But now she don't belong to anyone
And now she knows she never should have done
It's time to set aside these wedding chains
The dragon's dead, and now she's wed to the grave
