The Grail

Ten

Compositor: Glen Hughes

Quarendum est fortitudo nostra
Veritas praevalebit aeternum
Protegam sanctusque calix in aeternum et non recuso

Our strength is our quest
The truth will prevail forever
I will protect the holy grail for all eternity and I refuse to fail

The last crusade is over mv friends
Jerusalem has fallen, the dogs have seized it
If nothing's holy then this world will end
We must journey homeward again
Travel ever westward, keep torchlight vigils
We have to sanctify ourselves, to mend

It's not enough
Your heart is bleeding
The answer's not
To cloak your tears with a veil
No giving up, so start believing
Don’t banish love
Beyond your fear and the pale
Your quest is your strength
Let the light of truth prevail
For I refuse to fail
The grail

The chalice from the last supper raised
Caught the blood of Christ from his wounds by spear
Was found by keepers of the timeless faith
Centuries have passed while it lay
Hidden here by joseph of arimathea
And now the fisher king's embrace awaits

It's not enough
Your heart is bleeding
The answer's not
To cloak your tears with a veil
No giving up, so start believing
Don’t banish love
Beyond your fear and the pale
Your quest is your strength
Let the light of truth prevail
For I refuse to fail
The grail

The last crusade is over mv friends
Jerusalem has fallen, the dogs have seized it
If nothing's holy then this world will end
We must journey homeward again
Travel ever westward, keep torchlight vigils
We have to sanctify ourselves, to mend

It's not enough
Your heart is bleeding
The answer's not
To cloak your tears with a veil
No giving up, so start believing
Don’t banish love
Beyond your fear and the pale
Your quest is your strength
Let the light of truth prevail
For I refuse to fail
The grail
