Woke up this morning, from the strangest dream I was in the biggest army, The world has ever seen We were marching as one, on the road to the holy grail Started out, Seeking fortune and glory It's a short song, but it's a Hell of a story, when you Spend your lifetime trying to get Your hands on the Holy Grail Bud have you heard of the Great Crusade? We ran into millions, and nobody got paid Yeah, we razed four corners of the globe, For the Holy Grail. All the locals scattered, They were hiding in the snow We were so far from home, So how were we to know, There'd be nothing left to plunder When we stumbled on the Holy Grail? We were foolish beings But we were dying like flies And those big black birds, they were circling in the sky, And you know what they say, yeah, Nobody deserves to die. Oh I, I've been searching for an easy way to escape the cold light of day I've been high, and I've been low But I've got nowhere else to go There's nowhere else to go I followed orders God knows where I'd be But I woke up alone, all my wounds were clean I'm still here I'm still a fool for the Holy Grail Oh yeah, I'm a fool for the Holy Grail
