Lyrics

[00:23.00] We, together
[00:24.60] Change the world forever
[00:26.00] What a cheerful sound
[00:29.00] Synchronize me
[00:30.38] Supervise me, mother
[00:32.18] No more fooling around
[00:33.60] Whatever may come
[00:35.19] It shall be from the ashes
[00:37.49] He shall rise, I know
[00:40.38] And though it hurts me
[00:41.76] Don't be surprised, dear mother
[00:43.36] Longing to see his end
[00:45.00]
[00:45.33] Don't call it
[00:46.51] Hopelessly insane
[00:49.00] I go and grasp the grail
[00:51.86] But in a graceful way
[00:54.62] Illegally, my aim
[00:55.86] The grail will cross the border now
[00:57.83]
[00:58.15] Don't tell me that you're innocent
[01:00.99] Don't tell me it's divinely ordained by the saints
[01:04.14] My demons, my saviors
[01:06.71] I weep for all of them Suffered in vain
[01:09.48]
[01:09.77] My wayward son, you migh disturb me
[01:13.07] Carry the flame
[01:15.56] Till dying embers will stop gleaming
[01:20.67]
[01:21.08] There on the battlefield she sings
[01:24.12] Praise, hallelujah
[01:26.51] The Holy Grail's on its way now
[01:32.02] Magna eterna
[01:33.61] Magna eterna sings
[01:35.71] Your journery's over
[01:37.95] The Holy Grail's on its way now
[01:43.19]
[02:06.89] Do as it's foreseen
[02:08.57] Come and meet the king
[02:10.40] There's no choice
[02:12.24] For the word it must be
[02:13.83] Real, my righteous brother
[02:15.60] Fear you soon will know
[02:17.30]
[02:18.26] So, on the fourteenth day passover
[02:21.22] He took the firstborn sons
[02:23.96] Execute him and now act as
[02:26.89] Judas, the chosen one
[02:29.19]
[02:29.46] So after all, in vain
[02:32.66] I've met him and found the grail
[02:35.32] Cause in a skillful way
[02:38.20] I'll change to keep alive
[02:39.54] Eternal lie, I'll be the one
[02:41.51]
[02:42.05] Key to life, be the eclipse
[02:46.64] Voices from the river Styx
[02:48.48] Come to be the Nemesis
[02:49.91] Kiss of death
[02:50.51] Crucifix and the grail
[02:52.39]
[02:53.20] I've traveled far on hiden pathways
[02:56.20] The Holy Grail
[02:58.77] Who would have thought that I will hold it
[03:02.40] The Holy Grail
[03:04.00]
[03:04.50] There on the battlefield she sings
[03:07.48] Praise, hallelujah
[03:09.72] The Holy Grail's on its way now
[03:15.42] Magna eterna
[03:17.32] Magna eterna sings
[03:19.07] Your journery's over
[03:21.38] The Holy Grail's on its way now
[03:26.36]
[04:25.09] Don't tell me that you're innocent
[04:27.84] Don't tell me that there is a chance to be free
[04:30.81] The grail's sent, my way ends
[04:33.61] I creep along with the shadows
[04:36.13] And resurrected He comes marching in
[04:42.00] There he is Good lord forgive my sins
[04:46.54]
[04:47.80] Once I've crossed the river Styx
[04:50.40] At Sheol's gate, I know
[04:53.51] Key to the apocalypse
[04:55.10] I have sealed it with a kiss
[04:56.53] Nothing that I want to do
[04:57.85] Hades is calling
[04:59.30] Wake the witch, who'll be the brave one?
[05:02.08] Don't say what he's like
[05:05.14] Full of voices comes the ninth wave
[05:07.87] Don't say what it's like
[05:09.66] Beyond the door
[05:10.73]
[05:11.02] There on the battlefield she sings
[05:14.01] Praise, hallelujah
[05:15.94] The Holy Grail's on its way now
[05:21.77] Magna eterna
[05:23.86] Magna eterna sings
[05:25.17] Your journery's over
[05:27.79] The Holy Grail's on its way now
[05:32.89]
[05:33.60] Norns are howling
[05:39.30] Norns are prowling
[05:44.49]
