Kingdom of Arthur’s rule
Castle walls bleed and groan
So long since sword was pulled
From such unrelenting stone
Once seen as an empire’s saviour
Now gone quite mad with power
His tyrannical fist clenched tightly
While hand of GOD strikes the hour
Lancelot and Guinevere had stolen away
A best friend and lover’s ultimate betrayal
The bringing of disgrace to the throne
Catalyst for a rulers decayed mind portrayal
Shed the blood of the Unicorn
Just to have it’s horn
Without pity every dragon slayed
With their golden treasure, debts be paid
Seeing to it that angels cry out in fear
That he may fill his chalice with their tears
Bringing the majesty of the mountains down
To be the next to wear their crown
Mighty knights of the table round
Must all recognize their station
A single chance left to stand and fight
And hold ever strong for Camelot’s salvation
We must revolt against our demented King
Expelling the madman from a Kingdom’s demise
The pride of power, how it corrupts when forsaken
He must be overthrown, Excalibur to be our prize
The Sword of sorcery extracted from his hip
Given most unwillingly and with a warriors fight
Famed blade stolen and returned to a watery home
Lady of the Lake now to keep it ever in her sight
Mercy shown to a once proud Emperor Arthur
His wounds of body and mind set free to sail
Across calm waters to Isle of Avalon’s refuge
Only to be shipwrecked by a piercing Siren’s wail.
Knights and peasants now unable to coexist
Camelot finding war and famine commonplace
Formerly sturdy castle walls become it’s people’s tomb
As the once mighty civilization falls in disgrace
