The Last Battle - Rick Wakeman

Gone are the days of the knights

Of the Round Table and fights

Gallant men softly crying

Brave armies dying

The last battle soon to be lost

Hearing of great civil war

Saxons to Britain did pour

From the North and the East

Arthur’s knights' death to feast

The last battle soon to be lost

«Come life or death,» Arthur cried

Mordred the traitor he spied

Smote him into the ground

Where he fell without sound

And 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 hope

and save Britain in the hour of its 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 a cross 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 knights

Of the Round Table and fights

Of the realm of King Arthur

Peace ever after

Gone are the days of the knights
