Guenevere Lyrics by Dakin Matthews, Andrew Burnap, Camelot on Broadway Company
Camelot (The 2023 Broadway Cast Recording)
2023
[COMPANY] From the room, down the hall Through the yard, to the wall Slashing fiercely left and right Lance escaped them and took flight [PELLINORE] Arthur, thank God! They've arrested the queen! That child, that worm of a boy, Arthur, he contrived- [ARTHUR] Pelly! I know! [PELLINORE] Well, do something! [ARTHUR] She's under arrest. She's been accused of treason. [PELLINORE] Arthur, I understand you're angry- [ARTHUR] She's been accused of breaking the law! She has to be judged. [COMPANY] On a day dark and drear Came to trial Guenevere Ruled the jury for her shame She'd be sentenced to the flame [PELLINORE] They've returned the verdict: guilty! Arthur, please. I'm an old man and I know I'm ridiculous, but for the love of God, it's Genny! [ARTHUR] She broke the law, Pellinore! [PELLINORE] Yes- [ARTHUR] A law signed by the king! So say the people . [COMPANY] As the dawn filled the sky On the day she would die There was wonder far and near Would the king burn Guenevere? [PELLINORE] Your Majesty! Arthur, you're paralyzed! [ARTHUR] Neither you nor I nor God himself can stop this terrible thing that's been put in motion. [PELLINORE] What are you waiting for? [ARTHUR] I'm waiting for what's inevitably coming next! [COMPANY] Then suddenly earth and sky were dazed by a pounding roar And suddenly through the dawn an army began to pour And lo, ahead the army, holding aloft his spear Came Lancelot to save his dear Guenevere [KNIGHT ONE] Majesty, sentries report three hundred men are headed for the east gate. Should I double the guard? [ARTHUR] That's Lancelot du Lac out there and he's brought a battalion. Double the guard, triple the guard. Those guards are going to die tonight. [COMPANY] By the score fell the dead As the yard turned to red Countless numbers felt his spear As he rescued Guenevere [KNIGHT TWO] Majesty! Most of the guard has been killed. Lancelot and his man have the queen and they're headed for the channel. [ARTHUR] Call up four thousand men from the west, and twelve thousand from the south. A state of war now exists between England and France. [COMPANY] In that dawn, in that gloom More than love met its doom In the dying candle's gleam Came the sundown of a dream Guenevere, Guenevere Guenevere, Guenevere Saw the men she held most dear Go to war for Guenevere Guenevere, Guenevere Guenevere
