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
Well have you heard about the great crusade
We ran into millions, but nobody got paid
Yeah we raised 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 stumble on the holy grail
We were full of beans
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
You know I, I been searching for an easy way
To escape this cold light of day
I been high and I been low
But I got nowhere else to go
There's nowhere else to go
Oh
I followed orders
God knows where I've been
But I woke up alone
All my wounds were clean
I'm still here
I'm still a fool for the holy grail
I am, I'm a fool for the holy grail
