Rick Wakeman - The Last Battle Lyrics
Gone are the days of the knightsOf the Round Table and fightsGallant men softly cryingBrave armies dyingThe last battle soon to be lost.Hearing of great civil warSaxons to Britain did pourFrom the North and the EastArthur's knights' death to feastThe last battle soon to be lost.Come life or death Arthur criedMordred the traitor he spyedSmote him into the groundWhere he fell without soundAnd in rage lunged at Arthur who fell.Sir Hector, Sir Bors, Sir Bladwain and Sir Berboris, the only surviving knights of the round table, ended their days, after a pilgrimage to the Holy Land. Soon after the Saxons conquered all of Britain and the realm of Law was over. Many believed that Arthur would return to re-establish the Holy realm of ??? and save Britain in the hour of it's deadliest danger.About the year 1200 the monks of Glastonbury discovered the bones of Arthur buried near to those of Guinevere. Beneath the coffin a stone remained and there across bore the Latin inscription “Here lies King Arthur in his tomb, with Guinevere, his wife, in the Isle of Avalon.”Gone are the days of the knightsOf the Round Table and fightsOf the realm of King ArthurPeace ever afterGone are the days of the knights.
