The King’s Sword

[Instrumental Intro]

[Verse 1]
There was an ancient age
Of the warrior, of the sage
In a remote time
When bards sang their epic rhymes

There is a gloomy land
Where no lord or king stands
Where misery reigns
Peace and justice are in vain

[Pre-Chorus]
A king must arrive
The most valiant knights strive
To draw Excalibur
From its dream in the stone's core

It's Merlin's command
Be removed by a young hand
Before the knight's ring
A boy becomes Arthur the king

[Chorus]
Arthur knew greed in kingdom
Pain and sorrow he will feel
After the war his former foes kneel
Honour, fairness and wisdom
In the Round Table are the rule
In Camelot are free lords and fools

[Verse 2]
The search for the Grail
Just the purest of the males
To see it has the right
Among all Arthur's knights

Endless was the quest
Because no one passed the test
And the treason came
Loyal Lancelot was his name

[Pre-Chorus]
Arthur knew the lie in Camelot
Pain and sorrow in his soul
Culprits must pay for playing so foul
But the king's heart is crying
His kingdom and dream are blown away
But his sword will live, forever will stay

[Chorus]
This is all by his command (The king's sword)
Be removed by a young hand (From the stone)
He knew the lie in Camelot (The king's sword)
Pain and sorrow in his soul (He is alone)

This is all by his command (With it he'll be lord)
Be removed by a young hand (It rules again)
He knew the lie in Camelot (The king's sword)
Pain and sorrow in his soul (It's all in vain)
