Stone of Kings
Unveiling Centuries: The Stone of Kings' Resilience
Lyrics
The armies came 800 years ago
The invading armies arrived 800 years in the past.
Give or take a 100 years or so
Approximately 100 years' variation in the estimate of their arrival time.
And they thought that they could take the crown
They believed they could seize the monarchy.
They thought that they could keep us down
Their intention was to oppress us.
Because they had the stone of scone
They possessed the Stone of Scone, a symbol of authority.
Return the stone of kings
Request to return the Stone of Kings.
Return the stone of destiny
Request to return the Stone of Destiny.
Return the stone of kings
Request to return the Stone of Kings.
Return the stone
Request to return the Stone.
Some say it came from the holy land
Speculation about the stone's origin from the Holy Land.
And carried all the way by holy hands
Suggested transportation by holy individuals.
Saint Patrick laid a curse
Reference to Saint Patrick's curse on the stone.
And said some holy verse
Invocation of a holy verse by Saint Patrick.
And crowned an ancient king upon the stone
Coronation of an ancient king upon the stone.
Return the stone of kings
Reiteration of the plea to return the Stone of Kings.
Return the stone of destiny
Reiteration of the plea to return the Stone of Destiny.
Return the stone of kings
Reiteration of the plea to return the Stone of Kings.
Return the stone
Reiteration of the plea to return the Stone.
Well, the armies came 800 years ago
Restatement of the invading armies' arrival.
Give or take a 100 years or so
Approximately 100 years' variation in the estimate of their arrival time (repeated).
Well, today we got them on the track
Implication of presently tracking them down.
And we got that boulder back
Successfully retrieving the stone.
Yeah I said we got the stone of scone
Affirmation of regaining possession of the Stone of Scone.
Return the stone of kings
Request to return the Stone of Kings (repeated).
Return the stone of destiny
Request to return the Stone of Destiny (repeated).
Return the stone of kings
Request to return the Stone of Kings (repeated).
Return the stone
Request to return the Stone (repeated).
Return the stone
-Return the stone
Final plea to return the Stone.
