The Once and Future King (feat. Rose Wylin)

from Wizard by Benjamin Bear

/

lyrics

time traveler
known wizard
defender of camelot's king his mind shimmers
destiny shall bring the light giver
he travels backwards up through time's river
anachronistic master of magic
going through states the fates align tragic
family sometimes comes back to hurt you
wizards know that honor is virtue
would you pick and choose the same path now
knowing that the banner wasn't passed on down
knowing that the magic here just can't be found
knowing that the wizards here are underground
the flame that would motivate here will it save
the world from stepping into its grave?
the same way that you helped us back then
would you still believe in the goodness of men?

and in a timeless spring
time stops and our minds still lean
to camelot
everyday we sing
of the once and future king
and in our darkest hour
we still draw on your mighty power
your wisdom
was your greatest thing
for the once and future king

Rose Wylin:

Every wizard has a pastime -- Merlin's is to knit n grime
makin night-caps with that knit, purl swag shine
keepin' it real in his arcane robes
Bespectacled magician turnin' haters into toads
Sittin' cozy in our coop, sippin syrup, gurl it's teatime,
high time
We learn that fighting doesn't always equal power
only thing to do is just to make the future brighter
got a sad he'll tell you just to sit and ponder
why the raven is just like the writing desk, ya ever wonder?
Prophetic wanderer, Living backwards n inside out
baddest wizard in the hemisphere, drippin' in clout
bending minds into pretzels
and dabbling in the celestial.
Got your back in a pinch, yo own atticus finch.
all the witches wanna get that ish
swag so potent, it comin out his fingertips

and in a timeless spring
time stops and our minds still lean
to camelot
everyday we sing
of the once and future king
and in our darkest hour
we still draw on your mighty power
your wisdom
was your greatest thing
for the once and future king

evil waits for the minute it can fight back
power can corrupt it's enough tp turn the mind black
who can say if the way you can ride is
better than le fay with her anger to blindness
straight to the mindless fate is a kindness
the battle rages the age is timeless
finding the sign is a sword encased in
stone and a rock with a fate your facing
pull it out
and defend all doubt
descend on your enemies
they fall down
depend on the entity don't stray never seen
sixteen centuries still in our memories
shining a mind like a golden star
the courage to collect and respect this heart
still in high esteem even though they schemers
sorcerer born to protect these dreamers

and in a timeless spring
time stops and our minds still lean
to camelot
everyday we sing
of the once and future king
and in our darkest hour
we still draw on your mighty power
your wisdom
was your greatest thing
for the once and future king

Benjamin Bear Fort Worth, Texas

In 1750, Benjamin Franklin was observed by over fifteen residents of Philadelphia as he branded an unidentified man with an Illuminati insignia. He was overheard telling one of his associates, “my work will be done once Benjamin Bear arrives to complete it.”

The reliability of these findings has been verified.

Benjamin Bear has arrived.
