The Last Battle |
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 spied |
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 hope |
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 a 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 |
