Lived a squire with a heart full of valor and light,
Destined for glory, a tale to be told,
Of Sir Edmund of Arundel, the brave and bold.

Young Edmund trained with fervor, in fields of green,
Dreaming of knighthood, sights yet unseen,
He forged his skills with sword and shield,
His spirit unwavering, never to yield,
Guided by honor, in chivalry’s name,
A squire’s journey, towards knightly fame.

He’d ride through the night, to protect this place,
Oh, Sir Edmund, hero of the land,
With a sword in hand, and a heart so grand.

Verse 2:

In the final battle, where the brave are revealed,
With his last breath, he stood unafraid,
A hero's legacy, forever engraved.

In stories and songs, from dusk till dawn,
Oh, Sir Edmund, in history's strand,
With a sword in hand, and a heart so grand.

Final Chorus:
Oh, Sir Edmund of Arundel, champion so true,
With a heart of gold, and a soul ever blue,
Through battles and trials, he stood to fight,
For freedom and honor, in the darkest night.
From humble beginnings to a hero's end,
His story of valor, to all we send,
Oh, Sir Edmund, forever we stand,
With a sword in hand, in a noble land.
