The Last Battle Songtext
von 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 get the feast
The last battle soon to be lost
Come life or death are the cry
Mordred the traitor he spied
Smote him into the ground
Where he fell without sound
And in rage lunged at Arthur
Who fell to the ground
And in rage lunged at Arthur
Who fell to the ground
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
Come life or death are the cry
Mordred the traitor he spied
Smote him into the ground
Where he fell without sound
And in rage lunged at Arthur
Who fell to the ground
And in rage lunged at Arthur
Who fell to the ground
Sir Ector, Sir Bors, Sir Blamore, and Sir Bleoboris, 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 Logola was over. Many believed
That Arthur would return to re-establish the holy realm of
Logola 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."

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
