Lyrics: Daniel Rustage/Gregory Holgate/Mark Nichols/Connor Gerrard Music: Daniel Rustage Yeah Hear the, hm, trumpets and the call to arms One strike of the mornin' star First knight of the nation, I'm pullin' maidens, they see my courtly dance My men do it back to back to back to back home, or at war in France They stare in amazement, blood in the paintings, scars like an autograph, ayy They got ahead, but I severed it Barely a squire, they don't know the etiquette, ayy Do it a hundred like Henry V, this is my kingdom, I feel the adrenaline, ayy Move with a motion, chief of devotion, see my crusadin', I'm murderin' heretics They act like royalty, can't pull a wench, so they sleep with their relatives
It's the turn of the bear, Sir Badi, the biggest The pink emblazoned on tabards, my banners scatter the kingdoms If I'm movin' with retinue, know we march with the quickness I'm always the first in battle, my armour hardened and fitted Armed to the teeth, polearm and longsword equippin' Formation stacked, shield on my back, so it's harder to hit him We run 'em down or grab the quivers, 'cause carnage at distance So, bring the longbowmen in packs, that's just the mark of the British, innit
We got names in lights, so decorated Check it, every letter is illuminated Leaf through pages and you'll see Camelot, it hasn't got a thing on me
They see us ridin' like (Ayy, ayy ) They heard the fables, and watch us fightin' like (Ayy, ayy ) We tip the scales, we so inspirin' like (Ayy, ayy ) The holy grail The legend of the mics of the round table Hey, hey, hey, hey The legend of the mics of the round table Hey, hey, hey, hey The legend of the mics of the round table
Curtains rise, blur of the lights Can observe this might for a church's tithe First in line to the chair of the highness Certified sir, swear on my life Got a serpentine-like curve to the bites Not cursive I write, it's a curse and a blight They should persecute I, they should burn me alive Just a word to the wise from the Merlin-type Wizard with a pen, wicked in the west Army comin' at us, is it Byzantine again? Chivalry is dead Only because givin' to the poor from the rich is a criminal offence Illy, I'ma spread dysentery and death Still sicker in the head, so listen what I said Swingin' at ya neck with a blade, only way that I'd ever say I'm givin' you the edge
Hear the pounding of drums, the sound of the horns, and fall back Your flag's tattered, I'm galloping in on horseback Swords clash, gallant and valiant, push the hoards back Thud of dropping bodies in the sod, my support act Lore's stacked, riffle through that dictionary to chivalry It pictures me in victory amidst your finished infantry Anachronism's natural, listen Fact that book's not written, means That now we're spinning records that will make recorded history
We got names in lights, so decorated Check it, every letter is illuminated Leaf through pages and you'll see Camelot, it hasn't got a thing on me
They see us ridin' like (Ayy, ayy ) They heard the fables, and watch us fightin' like (Ayy, ayy ) We tip the scales, we so inspirin' like (Ayy, ayy ) The holy grail The legend of the mics of the round table Hey, hey, hey, hey The legend of the mics of the round table Hey, hey, hey, hey The legend of the mics of the round table
