Crowning of the King Blackmore's Night

[Verse 1]
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

[Verse 2]
Fast away the old, 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

[Chorus]
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

[Verse 3]
Step to the dance of hope of courtly wiles and pleasures
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

[Chorus]
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
