(VerseA) Times of war have called ye to me You, as knight of this kingdom of mine Shall stop whatever dangers threaten this shrine And after some time, a true knight ye shall be (Chorus) Rise now, knight Defender of the realm Protect our kingdom through day and night Ye be our defender of the realm (VerseB) A farmer's son you were once But that boy has grown now to this man Ye shall not be afraid to show what ye can But the man will live on (Chorus) Rise now, knight Defender of the realm Protect our kingdom through day and night Ye be our defender of the realm (Bridge) Now go, there's a danger awaiting us Oh knight of our beautiful realm Go to our allies, far away from us Ask them to help defending both our realms (Chorus) Rise now, knight Defender of the realm Protect our kingdom through day and night Ye be our defender of the realm
