Magna Carta Lyrics - Magellan

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...
