Stones (song)
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
"Stones" is a song composed by David R. Watson (Iolo FitzOwen) and lyrics by his late wife Kathleen Jones (Gwenllian Gwalch'gaeaf) for the computer role-playing game series, Ultima. It is the most famous song in Britannia and is known to be Lord British's favorite song.
The people in the world of Britannia think that it is about the building of the shrines of Virtue, in fact the song is about Stonehenge and its construction, as hinted by "...as we stood in the wide plains of Wiltshire."
The song appears in all games of the series after and including Ultima V. Lyrics of the song only appear in Ultima V documentation, however, and versions of the song after Ultima VII don't have the last stanza and instead have one more repeat of the intro.
