MERLIN
Merlin is frozen near his lake
For the time when he must wake
For King Arthur he did advise
For he was humble, magic and wise
Now that Arthur has risen once more
We must find Merlin and open his door.
To release Merlin is a must
So he can do what is just.
And when the Knights form the Table Round,
Then our Merlin will be found.

EXCALIBUR
A sword was made, its power strong
With a blade, with edge quite long
The sword was placed into a stone
The man to take it, would take the throne
This sword attracted many men
But its strength eluded them.
Then came Arthur, out one day
Passed the stone along his way
He gripped the sword with all his force
And let his fate take its course.
The sword came out, you know the story
There stood Arthur in all his glory.
To join Arthur is a must
For he and Excalibur you can trust.

THE KING IS BORN
A man was born in fifty four
Took thirty two years to find what for.
To be a King was his right.
And so he found out late one night.
He set himself upon his quest
To find the Knights of the best.
But his head is really whirling
Because his lost without his Merlin.
So his followers must unite
To help the King win his fight.
Find yourself from within
And then the Warband can begin
The Table Round must be completed
So that fate is not defeated
So join the Warband if you feel
That you believe, and its real.
