Merlin, Rise

MALE, SPOKEN:

Merlin sleeps, enchanted.
Infatuated by Nimue, the Lady of the Lake,
Beguiled and helpless, he slumbers.
Rise now, Merlin. Awake in this hour of our need.

SUNG BY FEMALE SOLOIST:

Merlin, rise.
Rise up and hear our plea:
Invaders fill the land.
We are no longer free.

Rise up and cast them out!
Don’t let our children die.
We want our own – that’s all we ask.

Sometimes at night I think the world is gone.
And then I wake to see a glorious dawn.

MALE, SPOKEN:

Rise….
