Lyrics

Whoaaa Whoaaaa Whoaaa Whoaaa Whoaaaa!
Hey all (hey all) welcome to the greatest storm

I know (I know) you have waited much too long

And I (and I) I will be your shining star

I'm here (I'm here) here to conquer near and far
Like the sun (the sun) I run (I run)

Into the heat of day

Like a knight (a knight), I'll fight (I'll fight)

Until the fight is won

In a rage (a rage), I'll save (I'll save)

Each and every, each and every, each and everyone

'Til this war is won
And I live to rule by the sword

Slashing through the

Every inch of the power, the power in you
As I sit, as I stand

By the table I command

My kingdom

I'm the Knight of the Wind
Whoaaa Whoaaaa Whoaaa Whoaaa Whoaaaa!
Hey all, (hey all) welcome to the end, it's near

I know (I know)

I will bring you pain and fear
On the ground (the ground), to the sky (the sky)

Faced with you and I

In a flash (a flash), I'm gone (I'm gone)

Holding your crown high

In a rage (a rage), I'll save (I'll save)

Each and every, each and every, each and everyone

Til this war is won
And I live to rule by the sword

Slashing through the

Every inch of the power, the power in you
As I sit, as I stand

By the table I command

My kingdom

I'm the Knight of the Wind
The Knight of the Wind
I'm the Knight of the Wind
Our castle is a massive force

A stronghold of power

My armor stays unbreakable

In battle every hour
[Instrumental]
Whoaaa Whoaaaa Whoaaa Whoaaa Whoaaaa!
Like the sun (the sun), I run (I run)

Into the heat of day

Like a knight (a knight), I'll fight (I'll fight)

Until the fight is won

In a rage (a rage), I save (I save)

Each and every, each and every, each and everyone

'Til this war is won
And I live to rule by the sword

Slashing through the

Every inch of the power, the power in you
As I sit and stand

By the table I command

My kingdom

I'm the Knight of the Wind
The Knight of the Wind

Connection to game

Like a knight, I'll fight, until the fight is won - Sonic's "never give up" attitude.
And I live to rule by the sword - The sword-play factor in the game.
As I sit and as I stand by the table I command my kingdom - Sonic being the one and true King Arthur.
Hey all, welcome to the end, it's near - King Arthur's kingdom nearing its end.
I know, I will bring you pain and fear - King Arthur summoning demons and becoming an evil tyrant or Merlina taking over of the kingdom.
I'm the knight of the wind - The title first given to Sonic by Percival.
In a flash, I'm gone - Sonic's speed.
Holding your crown high - Sonic assuming the role as the one and true King Arthur.

Trivia

When Crush 40 performed this song live at Summer of Sonic 2010 in London, they changed the lyrics "by the table I command" to "by the table she commands" to be more sensitive towards the British crowd.^[1]
Also, in the studio version, the line: "Here to conquer near and far" was changed into "Here to take you near and far".^[2]
There are several versions of this song that play throughout the game, but the full version is first heard during the credits after the completion of the Knight's Tale story.
Jun Senoue created an instrumental version of this song that can only be heard on the game's soundtrack.
An acoustic version was also created by Hikaru Tanimoto (featured on the soundtrack as well), with a much slower and more mellow pace. Because of this, the song runs considerably longer, at 5:37.
Crush 40 posted an exclusive concert of them performing Knight of the Wind on YouTube, taped at ABS studio in Tokyo, Japan, on 31 October 2008.
