The Last Battle Lyrics

The Last Battle lyrics

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 spyed

Smote him into the ground

Where he fell without sound

And in rage lunged at Arthur who fell



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



SIR HECTOR, SIR HORS, SIR BLAMOUR AND SIR BLEOBORIS THE ONLY

SURVIVING KNIGHTS OF THE ROUND TABLE, ENDED THEIR DAYS AFTER A

PILGRIMAGE TO THE HOLY LANDSOON AFTER THE SAXONS CONQUERED ALL

OF BRITAIN AND THE REALM OF LOGRES WAS OVER MANY BELIEVED THAT

ARTHUR WOULD RETURN TO RE-ESTABLISH THE HOLY REALM OF LOGRES 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 INLAID WITH A LEADEN CROSS BORE THE

LATIN INSCRIPTION 'HERE LIES KING ARTHUR IN HIS TOMB

WITH GUINEVERE HIS WIFE IN THE ISLE OF AVALON
