I've fashioned a sword, put it into a stone 
I've sent it afloat, then the sea took it 
In the perilous chapel it waits 
For Arthur to raise it in front of you all 

With this 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 [bad word] the land, bringing light after darkness 
But nobles won't accept until he proves the fact 
That the [bad word] King alone 
Can draw the sword from the stone 

Reaching out for the jewelled hilt, oh its burning like fire 
To take the sword and claim their 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 it will last 
His own blood wants revenge….
