  "lancelot - prince of benoic is also present at the kings making. he also lusts for guinevere. at present, his desire to be the champion of arthur's britain overcomes his need for the beautiful princess - but for how long? lancelot tries to convince himself that he will find his own guinevere, and that this passion for the woman who will be his queen is nought but a hopeless, romantic dream..."
  
  (lancelot)
  in this world we are more or less
  entwined in a race
  losing ground, it's a brittle mess,
  designed to decay
  we never dream to think of others,
  lie in the face of truth
  
  we're ensnared in the ties of love
  then bound by a ring
  spring is short as the cries above
  resound, deafening
  but 'silence' greets the brink of summer
  "why?" meets the winter's chill
  
  show me the reason why we put
  chains on our lovers
  how can we justify this kind of control ?
  show me the reason why we enslave
  one another
  
  we swear to keep our promises
  in time we renege
  and though we sleep in the dragon's lair,
  we're blind to the flames
  we're callous, disrespect our brothers,
  fight in an age of fools
  
  show me the reason why we put
  chains on our lovers
  how can we justify this kind of control ?
  show me the reason why we enslave
  one another
