Arthur Lyrics - Five Classic Albums - Rick Wakeman

Upon a New Year's day 

A host of knights did pray 

That from the anvil one could draw the sword. 

As each knight took his turn 

They found the anvil, held it firm; 

None worthy of a future King and Lord. 

Sir Kay the bravest knight 

Appeared to try his might 

He dreamed of being King, as all the rest 

To Arthur Sir Kay called to search 

And bring for him a sword 

In earnest Arthur set about his quest.

A churchyard in the wood 

The sword and anvil stood 

And Arthur drew the sword out of the stone 

The anvil now defeated 

His quest for the sword completed 

A sword that was to place him on the throne 

A sword that was to place him on the throne.

Sir Ector and Sir Kay saw the sword 

And knelt to pray 

Then gently took it from young Arthur's hand 

They marvelled at his quest 

Proclaiming to the rest 

Arthur is the King of all this land 

Arthur the King of all this land.
