Mordred's Lullaby

Song: Mordred's Lullaby
Artist: Heather Dale
Album: The Trial Of Lancelot

Hush child

The darkness will
Rise from the deep
And carry you
Down into sleep

Child

The darkness will
Rise from the deep
And carry you
Down into sleep

Guileless son
I'll shape your belief
And you'll always know
That your father's a thief

And you won't understand
The cause of your grief
But you'll always follow
The voices beneath

Loyalty
Loyalty
Loyalty
Loyalty

Loyalty
Loyalty
Loyalty
Only to me

Guileless son
Your spirit will hate her
The flower who married
My brother the traitor

And you will expose
His puppeteer behavior
For you are the proof
Of how he betrayed her loyalty

Loyalty
Loyalty
Loyalty
Loyalty

Loyalty
Loyalty
Loyalty
Only to me

Hush child

The darkness will
Rise from the deep
And carry you
Down into sleep

Child

The darkness will
Rise from the deep
And carry you
Down into sleep

Guileless son
Each day you grow older
Each moment I'm watching
My vengeance unfold

For the child of my body
The flesh of my soul
Will die in returning
The birthright he stole

Loyalty
Loyalty
Loyalty
Loyalty

Loyalty
Loyalty
Loyalty
Only to me

Hush child

The darkness will
Rise from the deep
And carry you
Down into sleep

Child

The darkness will
Rise from the deep
And carry you
Down into sleep

Therefore he is often portrayed as a villain in the legends but I've always sympathized with Mordred because he was raised for the sole purpose to take revenge on his father, Arthur. I don't know the reason for this but I think he didn't have such a good relationship with his father. Have I gotten it right? Please correct me if I'm wrong. Puh! Longest comment ever!

this doesnt sound like a very nice lullaby...lol

[philibusterification]

@bafucin82 Mordred is the bastard son of Arthur and his half sister Morgan.(gross I know, in T.H. White's version she disguises herself and seduces Arthur) Merlin foretold that Arthur's son would destroy Arthur. nine months later, Arthur ordered that all babies less than a year old should be place in a bow and put out to sea. Mordred survived, and his rise to power and Guinevere's affair with Lancelot broke Arthur, leading to the decline of Camelot

@SorceressZila Ring around the rosieeeee...

@justcallmeSven Off the top of my head I know there's that one about a baby in a cradle just before the branches of the tree its in breaks. The melody and title escapes my mind at the moment, but there's also Ring Around the Rosey

@SorceressZila

@MarieXEdd Now that you say that, I could see that... oh, is your username Ed, Edd and Eddy related?

[lunarwings86]

@bafucin82 Actually it is because Morgana was the eldest and Arthur "stole" the crown from her since she saw that it should have gone to her first. They were half siblings...

[clowngirl1989]
