Blind Guardian - The Holy Grail Lyrics






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

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

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

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

Norns are howling
Norns are prowling

Blind Guardian The Holy Grail Comments
  1. T.... ....

    I got the new album: Legacy of the Dark Lands, and i can safely say that the Story of Arthur (the main character from Beyond the Red Mirror album) continues. ;D

  2. G.... S....

    Mordred .. Discordia... Is this based upon the Dark Tower??? Really no connection?

    G.... S....

    The blind guardian albums tell a story about Arthur from the here and now, which is ruled by Caesar and his technocracy, and Mordred from the promised land (Camlann), which becomes discordia after the fall of the nine I believe. It's a story they themselves made, but it draws from and connects all of their favorite works of fiction in a single universe.

  3. M.... D....

    kutsal çay bardağı

  4. t.... ....

    This is about Mordred and mother?

    t.... ....

    This song is about Arthur from the Here And Now, questing for the holy grail in Discordia, with the help of the Gods.

  5. J.... L....

    *magna eterna magna eterna*

  6. A.... C....

    Hey to the asshole who blocked the throne in my country, unblock the throne in my country cunt, it's ruining my listening experience

  7. D.... L....

    This song is epic, but all I think of is Monty Python

  8. s.... ....

    Honestly I think that the choir doesn´t feel BG´s music. Its too technical and the staccato way they sing and emphasize single syllables (carry the fla-ha-ha-ha-hame) sounds too well-behaved, stiff and church-like to me. I immediately imagine a conductor who knocks with his stick on every fucking note they have to sing :D

    s.... ....

    swapticsounds That choir is perfect.

    s.... ....

    Holy Knight technically yes.

  9. L.... B....

    Did anyone else always think 'magna eterna, magna eterna sings your journey's over' was 'run back tell them, run back tell them, seems your journey's over?'

  10. P.... J....

    This should be the theme song of Joan of Arc.

  11. D.... ....

    Best song from entire album. I pressed repeat in it so many times the a cant count anymore. Simply amazing e Foda pacaralho!

    D.... ....

    FullBag NUNCA deixou de ser!

  16. C.... M....

    Even I had problems dealing with the new BG style since "A night at the opera", the "Holy grail" has become one of my favourite BG songs of all time.
    Thumbs up!!!

    C.... M....

    Me too bro.

  17. P.... ....

    Blond Guardian manages to create great and complex stories.

    P.... ....

    haha :D

    P.... ....

    +zauberschurke Blonde Guardian. I like to think that's what they'd be called had they chosen to play 80s glam rock instead. :P

    P.... ....

    +Kallo Skull (LetsPlayDMods) Lmao

    P.... ....

    Blond Guardian? better the Curly Guardian.

  18. G.... C....

    what is the song about?, precisely.

    G.... C....

    +josh squidlyburgh nize

    G.... C....

    haha, good luck getting an answer on that. This song is part of a concept album, though, so even to start understanding it, one would have to contextualize within the album.

    G.... C....

    Well, maybe you can summarize the whole plot of the album, I've bought it already, but I'm still don't grasp the story.

    G.... C....

    This comment was from shawnyboy97. Good information.

    In this song, we see that the Chosen one, destined to save both our world and Discordia. He was defeated previously by Mordred (kinda the anti-chosen one) and now had been ressurected by Mother Time ("Magana Eterna), a god of Discordia. He needs the holy grail to defeat Mordred and return peace to both worlds.

    G.... C....

    You have to listen to this album in the context of the other albums to understand it

  19. k.... ....

    Apparently this song describes the rise of Nazism in Germany and its goal or perfection through the "Master Race". Essentially the Holy Grail is a lie and evil.

    k.... ....

    +kevmolio I know you made this song a month ago, but this is in fact incorrect. The album "Beyond the Red Mirror" has it's own internal storlyine which follows the events in "Imaginations from the Other Side", the Other Side being the world of Discordia.
