Beneath the night behind the dawn
Before we all were even born
It was always gonna happen
It was always gonna end this way
That thing you feel beneath the ground
Soon you’ll feel it all around
It was always gonna happen
It was always gonna end this way
Every drum and every gun
Might as well shoot at the sun
It was always gonna happen
It was always gonna end this way
Light up, my love! Light all the candles!
Burn, my love! Fill this room with light, my love!
On this final night
My love, light all the candles
Burn, my love! Fill this room with light
Tonight, and every night
It was always gonna happen
It was always gonna end this way
Don’t get mad and don’t feel blue
There’s really nothing you could do
All the tears and all the words
We’ll find out what comes afterwards
Hold my hand open your eyes
Walk into this with heads held high
Beneath the night behind the dawn
Before we all were even born
It was always gonna happen
It was always gonna end this way
Light up, my love! Light all the candles!
Burn, my love! Fill this room with light, my love!
On this final night
My love, light all the candles!
Burn, my love! Fill this room with light
Tonight, and every night we can
My love

This is a great adaptation of Arthuriana and a brilliant narrative album. I love how the queerness of the characters is handled as an integral part of the narrative and plot development without it being the end all be all of the characters themselves. my boy Gawain deserved better though maritarvaniti
