Magna Carta Lyrics

I. Magna Carta Overture (Instrumental) 

II. Declaration 

John The King of England 
Duke of Normandy (Count of Aquitaine) 
Spoke to all his subjects 
Declaring freedom and reform in this present charter... 

III. Status Quo 

In the first place it is our will 
Before we quarrel there are rights to instill 
Upon our heirs, confirmed with grace 
The English Church shall stand in faith 
If any earl or baron dies 
And owes us relief we will rectify 
Our binding words to the sons under age: 
"We`ll hold it in trust - your inheritance is saved." 

The guardian of the land will now answer to us. 
Assignable for husbandry and wardship. 
The Treaty of The Magna Carta will ensure this. 

IV. Reform 

City of London have all your liberties 
Free customs and furthermore; petition counsel 
That no assessment shall reach into the pockets 
Of the common man 
We respect the rights of the common man 
We must respect the rights of the common man..... 
No witch hunt executions to be held in the shadows 
No trivial crimes shall condemn one to the gallows 
All evil customs, warrens, sheriffs, shall be abolished 
All hostages will be released 
In the the final hours of this decadence we must defeat 
`Cause it`s not too late for the future 
Stand back - look around 
It`s a time for peace not a time for war or for judgement 
Summon all, listen to my order! 
This fifteenth day of June in Runnymeade 
All must coincide as The Magna Carta is ratified..... 

V. Restoration 

Should a man transgress this charter 
We`ll judge in fairness with law and order 
Time for the kingdom to be granted all these things 
Wishing betterment for allies, with security. 
Liberty of conscience is finally restored as The 
Magna Carta is moving forward in this restoration 
From such a young man his great awakenings has 
saved our homeland..... 

In a modern world we still must fight to learn the 
lessons that prolong our plight 
The history of those before should help us now but 
we choose to ignore 
Explore the new ground - discovery 
We know the answers but no one sees 
We are so close but we stand so far 
From the restoration - the nearest star 
The Hour of Restoration is now upon us 
We measure the time all history to the present The 
Magna Carta 
Trust of the ancient living. 

City of London have all your liberties, free customs 
and furthermore 
Petition counsel that no assessment shall reach into 
the pockets of the common man. 
We restored the rights of the common man 
We have restored the rights of the common man...
