“For him, I would do anything. Even damn the rest.”
Merlin was an old man. All the legends said he was. He didn’t serve as High Sorceress of Camelot, and he was he. Not a she. So why did she feel as if the Arthurian legends were all wrong?
I was looking for a breath of life;
A little touch of heavenly light
But all the choirs in my head sang "no"
To get a dream of life again
A little of vision of the start and the end
But all the choirs in my head sang "no".
But I needed one more touch
Another taste of heavenly rush
And I believe; I believe it so...
And I needed one more touch
Another taste of divine rush
And I believe, I believe it so...
Whose side am I on? Whose side am I... ?
Whose side am I on? Whose side am I... ?
And the fever began to spread
From my heart down to my legs
But the room was so quiet
Oh...
And although I wasn't losing my mind
It was a chorus so sublime
But the room is too quiet
(Oh, the fever)
I was looking for a breath of life
A little touch of heavenly light
But all the choirs in my head sang "no"
(I believe it)
To get a dream of life again
A little vision of the start and the end
But all the choirs in my head sang "no"
(Choir)
Haaaaa ohhhh
Haaaaa
ohhhh
It's a harder way
And it's come to claim her
And I always say
We should be together
I can see below
'Cause there's something in here
And if you are gone
I will not belong here
And I started to hear it again
But this time it wasn't the end
And the room was so quiet, oh
And my heart is a hollow plain
For the devil to dance again
And the room was too quiet, oh
I was looking for a breath of life;
A little touch of heavenly light
But all the choirs in my head sang "no"...

Disclaimer: I love Merlin, but that doesn’t mean I own it. Pure fan love here.
Story: Merlin’s life should’ve been easier. She was just a high school student, friends with rich kids Arthur and Morgana Pendragon and Gwen Jennings, kind maid to the family. And yet, it isn’t –not when she’s suddenly best friends with depressed Uther Pendragon, father to Arthur and Morgana, and a woman named Nimueh keeps testing her. It doesn’t help to think she’s the reincarnation of the famous wizened old wizard of Arthurian legends and she keeps dreaming about it. Parallel semi-sequel to The Day the Whole World Went Away.
