The Last Battle Lyrics - Five Classic Albums - 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 spyed 

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? 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 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 knights 

Of the Round Table and fights 

Of the realm of King Arthur 

Peace ever after 

Gone are the days of the knights.
