Knights of Old

In times of old
When knights were bold
When they would fight
For justice and right

With sword in hand
For truth they would stand
Freedom and justice for all
Knights would answer the call

No matter rich or poor
All living inside the castle door
Protected by a coat of arms
Knights arose to all alarms

Brave and strong and true
Many a sword they drew
These knights of old
Were fierce and bold.  

In centuries past
With swords laid down at last
These knights of old
For centuries will have their tales  told.
