about

Galahad, the purest of the knights, is one of few knights to finally enter the chamber of the Holy Grail. But he is stopped by a demon before he can complete his quest. The demon puts him in a trance, and shows him the gateway to hell and the evils that lurk beyond. Galahad breaks his trance through his faith in the Lord and is able to defeat the demon, thus retrieving the Holy Grail.

lyrics

Narrator:

Most knights have perished
The caves filled with the dead
Awful thoughts are swirling
Inside his head

For our lone knight Galahad
Treading carefully
He’s almost at the end
He’s almost set free

And the grail’s now in sight
He must call forth the light

A ghastly apparition appears
Riding a mare of darkness. He is here.

The unwelcomed demon
Inches closer more
Hops off his steed
And opens his door

And a swirling black light
Beckons in the cave
Shows a wooden cross
That lightly engraved:

“Here lies no one
A fool with much debt”
Outside there is wailing
And grinding of teeth

As the moans grow louder
The knight becomes aware
And the spectacle seizes
The door shuts with the air

Demon:

I am your master
Your soul will be mine

Narrator:

Galahad watches his foe carefully
Eyeing his moves, a prey yet to be
He draws his sword and prepares for the duel
Between good and evil, where there is only one rule

Galahad:

And with the light I will expose the darkness
For light will always win in the prophecy of time
You cannot claim me as your own Satan
For God is on my side

We’ll reclaim the throne
Bring Excalibur home
Fill the kingdom with hope
To the king I will go with the grail of all heavenly hosts
