EXCALIBUR

Once upon a time
In a fever
Not a dream nor a mare
I know that can’t be right
But I’ve seen it
In the land of truth or dare

Give me your hungry give me your poor
All on board the magical sword
To build the accomplishments of man
From the Bellagio to the Hoover Dam

To distinguish a brown paper bag
From a string of disappointments
Of the American flag
By tomorrow remind me of the chant
As we're taking the the power plant

Forget about Las Vegas
What we lost on roulette
We’re betting on red
And there’s no giving up now

The future stands ajar
To the night and it’s just getting darker
The sky is a perforated car
Like the punctured remains of Bonnie Parker
Until this day she still haunts the casino halls
The burial sites and shopping malls

Some days I can’t get out of bed
I feel too blue but I’m still seeing red
Forget about the battles lost
Gotta look ahead
We’re betting on red
there’s no giving up now

I love this lady so much for more than a decade. I just want to give her a hug and thank for everything. Maybe someday…❤

Went to the Brisbane show on Feb 14th, people were screaming like they were losing their minds when she played this song. Such an awesome night!

I want to inject this song into my veins it's so good. Molly, if you're reading this, please don't ever ever stop making music ❤❤❤

[amarantafinlandia]

The intro always throws me off cause I struggle to find the beat. Love it. 😅

[okjimi]

I used to pray for days like these 🙏🖤⚔️

Last week I was just thinking than your last album was from 2022 and I was hoping for 2024 album... Can't wait for this new LP ! Love !

Helt magisk musik ; jag har gåshud hela tiden under lyssnandet och förglömmer saligt både tid och rum . Visste till min stora skam inte ens vem Molly Nilsson var förrän idag, då jag av en slump ramlade på en av hennes sånger .Nu vet jag att hon är ett geni.Har inte blivit så här totalt betagen, eller snarare bergtagen, av någon musik sedan Talk Talk och Kate Bush på 1980-talet 🤩🥳.

This amazing and talented woman needs huge recognition. I'm glad I have been a huge fan of Molly Nilsson since a long time ago.

[videokilledstars]

I love everything you've done lately, it's getting better and more mature. For me you are a genius, no one today can better convey emotions without being pretentious or insincere with their art. You are everything I loved in the music of the last century, I am grateful that you exist, you are the only current artist I listen to today

[ArtguCW]

Спасибо, Молли, за особенную и классную музыку. Слушаю всё с первого альбома, смотрю с первого клипа :)

[alanmaidanaa]

Great lyrics on this song. Made me a little teary.

[armin]

I really like those inimitable tunes in her music. Love Molly Nilsson since 2015. ✨️

[rammyram]

How is she always this impromptu fantasy majesty?❤❤❤❤❤❤

[tadeotovar]

I love you Molly. I’m always missing you.

[ScreamDreams]
