Holy Grail is a pub rock song on the Australian band Hunters & Collectors' 1992 album Cut. The song was inspired by singer Mark Seymour reading the Jeanette Winterson novel “The Passion” about Napoleon’s invasions of Russia.
This song takes this story of struggle and hardship on one’s path to...
[Intro]
An Astro mix
Oh!
So ha
[Verse 1]
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
[Verse 2]
Started out seeking fortune and glory
It's a short song but it's a hell of a story
When you spend your lifetime tryna get your hands
On the holy grail
[Verse 3]
But have you heard about the great crusader?
We ran into millions and nobody got paid
Yeah, we raised four corners of the globe
For the holy grail
[Verse 4]
All the locals scattered
They were hiding in the snow
We were so far from home
So how were we to know
That there'd be nothing left to plunder
When we stumbled on the holy grail?
[Verse 5]
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
[Bridge]
You know 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 got nowhere else to go
[Interlude]
There's nowhere else to go
Oh!
[Instrumental]
2:41 - 2:50
[Verse 6]
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
[Outro]
I am
I'm a fool for the holy grail
