Drink up, baby
Stay up all night
The things you could do
You won't, but you might
The potential you'll be
That you'll never see
The promises you'll only make

Drink up with me now
And forget all about
The pressure of days
Do what I say
And I'll make you okay,
And drive them away
The images stuck in your head

The people you've been before
That you don't want around anymore
Or that push and shove and won't bend to your will
I'll keep them still

Drink up, baby
Look at the stars
I'll kiss you again
Between the bars
Where I'm seeing you there
With your hands in the air
You're waiting to finally be caught

Drink up one more time
And I'll make you mine
I'll keep you apart
Deep in my heart
Separate from the rest
Where I like you the best
And keep the things you forgot

The people you've been before
That you don't want around anymore
Or that push and shove and won't bend to your will
I'll keep them still

I'll keep them still
Oh-oh

Wow, great blending of source for that full on Arthurian experience. I love the way it all flows into each other moving seamlessly between young Merlin and Arthur and their older selves. I particularly admire the colour work especially on the Excalibur section. The coronations sequence was really well worked and was probably my favourite sequence because they should be joyful, triumphant occasions and yet they are full of foreboding and as a result are kind of heartbreaking.

I can only marvel at your ability to get all the different source to play nicely together to create such a wonderful dreamlike whole.

Great vid, Kiki.

Thank you. I loved making the Excalibur section. It was one of my favorites to edit.

The coloring took forever to get right. My god, I could have murdered it. :)
