oh i just found this... maybe now i understand it more :)
When I talk about the Round Table and such, I'm speaking metaphorically of course. It's like, after 9/11, you might have gone into a shelter where an old woman was helping to feed parentless children, and for one moment, you might have looked at her and seen her in a breastplate with a sword hanging by her side. The sword is symbolic. It doesn't mean violence. It means strength. And when you swear by the sword, you make a vow, an unbreakable promise to right a wrong, to stay true.
There are so many among us who go unrecognized every day, people who do good and help others and uphold justice in their own way, but they don't make it onto the nightly news, so we feel more surrounded with bad guys than with good.
Going back to the song, it's a promise to band together with all the unseen knights in invisible armor and be as noble and strong as those in legend. It's very important to remember that we have sisters and brothers, it makes everything much more bearable.
