Holy Grail

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 pill of a story
when you spend a lifetime
trying to get your hands
on the holy grail

have you heard
of the great crusade
he ran into millions
and nobody got paid
he raised four courners of the globe
for the holy grail

all the locals scatter
they were hiding in the snow
we were so far from home
so how were we to know
that there'll be nothing left to plunder
when we stumble on the holy grail

we were full of bees
we were dying like flies
those big black birds
they were circling in the sky
you'd know what they'd say, yeah
nobody deserves to die

I followed orders
God knows where I've been
but I woke up alone
and all my wounds were clean
but I'm still here
I'm still a fool for the holy grail

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
there's nowhere else to go
there's nowhere else to go
