At the end of our lives
In a deserted land
The last one in the coal mine
The last one making his stand
This might be your last chance
The man in the jobs at the set
Gave him just a quick glance
From his eyes those eyes he hadn't seen
Seen before long ago 
Where have you seen these eyes?

Excalibur the world is on fire
Excalibur the world in confusion
Excalibur torment desire
Excalibur vainly illusion
Excalibur way in seclusion
Excalibur vainly illusion
Excalibur
Excalibur

Digging in dark
And mighty scorch
cast in the deep 
In his lonesome torture
Lost in a zinc or red ore 
Blind all day - couldn't tell anymore
Reaching for a hole
When he felt something cold
Something hard maybe gold
Something strange and old

Excalibur the world is on fire
Excalibur the world in confusion
Excalibur torment desire
Excalibur vainly illusion
Excalibur way in seclusion
Excalibur vainly illusion
Excalibur
Excalibur

And he dug in the mud with bare hands
And he felt those eyes on him still
And he heard in locations like in a trance
And the voices started to sing

We're waiting for the ore and the tools to stand by
In the name of the exploited
In the name of justice 
In the name of freedom
We are ready to dare

And he reached for the hilt
In one go held it up 
And he touched the sky

Excalibur the world is on fire
Excalibur the world in confusion
Excalibur torment desire
Excalibur vainly illusion
Excalibur way in seclusion
Excalibur vainly illusion
Excalibur
Excalibur
