In colourful glory you rode across the heath
Armour-plated with steel and armed to the teeth
When you met with your foe you fought to the death
And didn't give up until quite out of breath

So where are you now
You great knights of old
Your honours betrayed
And your castles are sold

You took from the rich and you gave to the poor
And rescued fair maidens who were near to death's door
You went on crusades for justice and right
And fought against evil with all of your might

So where are they now
The great knights of old
In our time we need
Such pillars of gold
