[Verse 1] The king woke up and called for war The sword demanded more The queen said all our heads were lost And walked right out the door Sir Galahad still believes Though heaven knows in what And Merlin swears the moon explained Why everything is fucked [Pre-Chorus] I've buried plans I've buried friends I've buried half my pride But someone has to hold the reins While all the rest get drunk tonight [Chorus] Britannia still awaits Though every fool is late The kingdom's held together now By luck and string and fate Britannia still awaits Though Camelot complains And if the king won't save the land Then we'll bloody well save it in his name [Verse 2] The knights are drunk The court's insane The banners hang askew One man seeks a holy cup Another seeks a feud One lady serves a talking sword One lady serves her rage And Cedric's writing history That no one can explain [Pre-Chorus] I've heard enough Of blood and crowns And who has rightful claim The fields don't care whose father lied The rain falls down the same [Chorus] Britannia still awaits Though every fool is late The kingdom's held together now By luck and string and fate Britannia still awaits Though Camelot complains And if the king won't save the land Then we'll bloody well save it in his name [Bridge] Arthur... Old friend... Get up. Not for Camelot. Not for the throne. Not for the sword. For them. For the villages. For the farms. For the roads. For Britannia. [Final Chorus] Britannia still awaits Though the darkness gathers near And all the songs of better days Grow fainter every year Britannia still awaits Though kings may rise and fall And if this kingdom has one chance Then Arthur... Answer the call. [Outro] One last ride. One last king. One last impossible morning. And then... We'll see what survives.
