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...
