Ten – The Grail lyrics

Album: GOTHICA

“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
