The Making of Mordred (Mordred's Lullaby)

Because there don't seem to be many videos for this song that are even remotely connected to its subject ....

This is the brief story in pictures of how Mordred LeFay was twisted, from cradle to grave. It's my first attempt at a video; be gentle with me.

"Mordred's Lullaby"
--Heather Dale

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.

What's this movie?

[Tancid]

@The12345678903272

I used clips from 4 different movies: "Camelot," "Excalibur," "Merlin," and "The Mists of Avalon."

[SisterOfDoubt]

This is supposed to b from morgan le fay's perspective, i know, (like the line 'my brother the traitor) but whos she talkin bout wen she ways 'for u are the proof of how he betrayed her'?

[Tancid]

Presumably because Mordred, being the illegitimate son of Arthur and Morgan, is the proof of how Arthur betrayed Guinevere (i.e., by having slept with and had a child with another woman) ... although most versions of the tale would have it that Mordred was conceived prior to Arthur and Guinevere's marriage.

[Calibizaro]

@Tancid

However it's still a betrayal of Gwen that he already had a son, and hadn't told her about it beforehand.

[Tancid]

@Calibizaro

Good point! Of course, to confuse the issue more, you then have the versions where Morgan kept Mordred a secret, and Arthur knew nothing of him until he showed up at Arthur's court as a young man. LOL So I guess it's all in what each person views as Arthurian canon. I'm not sure if you've seen the new television show "Merlin" at all, but THEY give the legend an entirely NEW twist. It's rather interesting to see what they're doing with it.

[theMetalNerd91]

They need to make a movie about Mordred's side of the Arthurian legends. There is more substance to explain what he does. hell, If I found out my father banged his own sister to create me while he was also married, I'd be pissed too! even if my mother didn't raise me to be evil i'd hate him

[spritedream47]

I'm mesmerized by the cold beauty of this song.

[ballaesmeralda]

@SisterOfDoubt because in many legends Mordred reveal Guinevere betrayed Arthur,.in some versions also Mordred seduce Guinevere 

[guinnessdrinkur]

@Tancid I also heard a version where Morgan actually uses magic to disguise herself as Guinevere when Mordred was conceived

[Amestrian]

@SisterOfDoubt Arthur was married to Guenevere when he slept with Morrigan (his sister) who was disguised at the time. Mordrid is Morrigan's son... yeah...

[celiaceder]

Does anyone know from what movie the first pic's from? the one with the masks...

[yunaisdehgal]

Such an enchanting Song! :* My personal favourite Mordreds are Merlin1998 and Mists of avalon, best child version is from BBC Merlin :B

[Nekokumagoro]

Oh that's really a cool video.. I think he's a very interesting character.. his story is very sad If you think about it. Good job!

[RikaKatsuki]

@Galutron Mordred's father is Authur.His mother is Morgause,who is Arthur's half-sister.

[Galutron]

Wait, Morgan was Arthur's half-sister. So, Mordred would be Arthur's nephew.
