The Sword In The Stone

I've fashioned a sword, put it into a stone

I've sent it afloat, then the sea took it home

In the perilous chapel it waits

For Arthur to raise it in front of you all

With his token of power the nation won't fall

It will shield you from evil and hate

The Dragon died, on that night, pointing out his successor

The hidden son to all unknown, came to fight the agressor

The knights must be convinced

Challenging the prince

He'll bring you peace and victory, so why all the harshness

He'll unite the Kings and rule the land, bringing light after darkness

But nobles won't accept

Until he proves the fact

That the true King alone

Can draw the sword from the stone

Reaching out for the jewelled hilt, oh it's burning like fire

To take the sword and claim the rights is their only desire

But failure shows them why

There's more than meets the eye

Arthur holds Excalibur, the invincible weapon

To fight the wrong and serve the right, I know he'll make it happen

This sword will make him stronger

Never to be conquered

Now the heir to the throne

Has drawn the sword from the stone

Now the King's unsurpassed as a leader of man

There's a scar from his past, which he'll bear till the end

Like a curse that will last

His own blood wants revenge...
