|
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 |
