Lyrics The Holy Grail - Blind Guardian

The Holy Grail

We, together
Change the world forever
What a cheerful sound
Synchronize me
Supervise me, mother
No more fooling around
Whatever may come
It shall be from the ashes
He shall rise, I know
And though it hurts me
Don’t be surprised, dear mother
Longing to see his end
Don’t call it
Hopelessly insane
I go and grasp the grail
But in a graceful way
Illegally, my aim
The grail will cross the border now
Don’t tell me that you’re innocent
Don’t tell me it’s divinely ordained by the saints
My demons, my saviors
I weep for all of them
Suffered in vain
My wayward son, you might disturb me
Carry the flame
Till dying embers will stop gleaming
There on the battlefield she sings
Praise, hallelujah
The Holy Grail’s on its way now
Magna eterna
Magna eterna sings
Your journey’s over
The Holy Grail’s on its way now
Do as it’s foreseen
Come and meet the king
There’s no choice
For the word it must be
Real, my righteous brother
Fear you soon will know
So, on the fourteenth day passover
He took the firstborn sons
Execute him and now act as
Judas, the chosen one
So after all, in vain
I’ve met him and found the grail
Cause in a skillful way
I’ll change to keep alive
Eternal lie, I’ll be the one
Key to life, be the eclipse
Voices from the river Styx
Come to be the Nemesis
Kiss of death
Crucifix and the grail
I’ve traveled far on hidden pathways
The Holy Grail
Who would have thought that I will hold it
The Holy Grail
Don’t tell me that you’re innocent
Don’t tell me that there is a chance to be free
The grail’s sent, my way ends
I creep along with the shadows
And resurrected
He comes marching in
There he is
Good lord forgive my sins
Once I’ve crossed the river Styx
At Sheol’s gate, I know
Key to the apocalypse
I have sealed it with a kiss
Nothing that I want to do
Hades is calling
Wake the witch, who’ll be the brave one?
Don’t say what he’s like
Full of voices comes the ninth wave
Don’t say what it’s like
Beyond the door
Norns are howling
Norns are prowling
