Merlin: "Anál nathrach, orth' bháis's bethad"(Serpent's breath, charm of death…and life.)
Arthur: "I dreamt of The Dragon"
Merlin: "I have awoken Him!...Can't you see, all around you, the Dragon's breath?"

Bob Vickery, Music, Richard Montefiore, Lyrics, Vocals

These quotes from "Excalibur" have haunted me since I saw the film at 17. I added these words to the vocals for this song I worked on with Bob Vickery ("Paradigm") as a counterpoint to the seriousness of it all. I hear the camera crew is visible in Lancelot's shield as he makes love to Guinivere. I have briefly posted earlier versions but this version is mixed with Bob's master mix of the track, which has a lovely, lonely piano section with a great "Leslie" type rotating synth in the middle. Please, if you can, share with me your thoughts and/or impressions of this master mix!

Merlin: "Anál nathrach, orth' bháis's bethad"
(Serpent's breath, charm of death…and life.)

Frozen in time, I touch the Face of God.
Unaware of what is mine, I touch the Face of God.
Alive, I touch the Face of God, struggling
to survive, I touch the Face of God.
I stand alone, searching for a sign.
All my hopes and fears, balanced on the line.
All my puny thoughts untouched by the sublime.
My God, I glimpse The Grand Design.
Merlin: ("Can't you see all around you The Dragon's breath?")

Transformed, Your breath flows into me.
Hardly yet reformed, Your whispers set me free.
All my lies deformed, yet still You hear my plea.
Truth is unadorned, unshrouded in uncertainty.
Reborn, Your words are all I hear, uncensored
unreformed, yet still alive with fear.
No longer sensing You, yet knowing You are near.
I seek the Face of God, I seek to find You here.


Arthur: "I dreamt of The Dragon"
Merlin: "I have awoken Him!
Can't you see, all around you, the Dragon's breath?"
