young knights
how long shall we be gone 15 years
not including the months it'll take to
get to your post if you so choose they
may someday be yours to lead and to be
the commander yes but with this title
comes a sacred responsibility
to protect
to defend
to value their lives above your own
don't be afraid
i will return
should they perish in battle
to live your life gloriously in honor of
their memory what is their free will
our freedom boys
i can almost taste it
wrong as it should a final order for you
and your men final order i've often
thought about what going home will mean
after all this they have risked their
lives for 15 years for a cause not of
their own and now on the day they are to
be liberated freedom
send them on a mission which is far more
dangerous than any other they have
undertaken
you tell me bishop how do i go to my men
and tell them that instead of freedom
i offer death
every night here this lady's life on the
line for you
for you
and instead of freedom you want
more blood
these are our orders we leave a first
light and when we return your freedom
we'll be waiting for you i am a free man
i will choose my own fate
you know i've got something to live for
i would have broken their speed as you
fulfill your duty to wrong we have the
word of art my duty is also to my man
that is good enough the world isn't a
perfect place to perhaps people like you
are
and them
can make it so
do you believe in this mission these
people need our help
it is our duty i don't care about your
charge if you desire to spend eternity
in this place arthur so be it but
suicide cannot be chosen for everyone
you choose death for this fight i choose
life
and freedom for myself and the men
earn it all arthur you fight for a world
that will never exist
never
it will always be a battlefield
merciful god i have such need of your
mercy now not for myself
but for my knights
this is truly
what was it like
your home
what i do
remember oceans of grass
from horizon to horizon
the sky
bigger than you can imagine
no boundaries
some people would call that freedom
that's what we fight for
our land our people
the right to choose our own destiny from
is most indicted to you noble knights
to your final days of servants to the
empire
the rome you talk of doesn't exist it's
a magnificent place from
accepting your dreams
the greatest minds in all the lands have
come together in one sacred place to
help make mankind free the work of your
god this is how he answers your prayers
it is god's wish that these sinners be
sacrificed only then can their souls be
saved
pagans here they refuse to do the task
god has set for them help this man they
must die as an example you mean they
refuse
i can see why you believe that you have
nothing left here
except
what you and your knights have done
you have your deeds deeds in themselves
are meaningless unless they're for some
higher purpose
that sword you carry is made of iron
from this earth forged in the fires of
britain it was love of your mother that
freed the sword not hatred of this land
your home is the last outpost of freedom
love arthur these are your people
arthur
it is not your fight
only certain death awaits you here
either
i now know that all the blood i have
shared all the lives i have taken
have led me to this moment
arthur wherever i go on this wretched
island i hear your name
we are knights
what other purpose do we serve if not
for such a cause
who are you fighting for
i fight for a cause beyond realms or
your understanding
[Music]
knights
the gift of freedom that is yours by
right
but the home we seek resides not in some
distant land
it's in us
and in our actions on this day
if this be our destiny
and so be it
history remember that it's free men
[Music]
you're free
i came to see your face so that i alone
may find you on the battlefield and it
would be good for you to mark my face
saxon
for the next time you see
it will be the last thing you see on
this earth
finally
a man worth killing
for 200 years knights had fought and
died for a land not our own
but on that day at baden hill
all who fought put our lives in service
of a greater cause
freedom
let every man woman child bear witness
that from this day
all britons will be united in one common
cause
king arthur
and as for the knights who gave their
lives
their deaths were caused for neither
mourning nor sadness
there is a legend that fallen knights
returned as great horses for they will
live forever
their names and deeds handed down from
father to son
mother to daughter
in the legends of king arthur and his
knights
