GRAILKNIGHTS LYRICS

1. Nameless Grave

Below the branches of
A lonely winter tree
High rocky slopes
Cliffs of the cold and lurid sea
Lost among the stars
Silver dew on a meadow fair
My silent pain
My diary of despair
Snow turned red when death was near
Her frozen tears so crystal-clear

[Chorus:]
Nameless grave by the sounding sea
In my wildest drams
She's still calling me
Innocence died, she died so young
Pale-faced moon
What have we become?
I only know that it was
Many a year ago
Old father moon shone brightly
And the tide was low
A ship from far away
Lay unmoved on the shore
Her gentle voice changed
My life forevermore
The wind whispers her tale of woes
I will not rest and I will never repose

[Chorus]

Nameless Grave

2. Alliance

No cross, no crown, do beard a lion
Necessity knows no law
Never put off till tomorrow
What you can do today
Make assurance double sure
Far at the horizon we see the hords
Battlechoir, hail to you
Your will to fight, to hail, to kill
Oh Skull, prepare to die!
Evil dreads the cross
Evil flees from holy water
Evil dreads the rosaries
Evil flees from sunlight
We don't fear the evil
The Choir fears nothing at all
This alliance will never be broken!

[Chorus:]
Raise your fists up to the sky and
Show the world our
Long-famous sign
In this moment of
Honesty and truth
Ability is the poor man's wealth
The more danger, the more honour
A tree must be bent while it's young
United we stand, divided we fall
Choir, we're your biggest fan
A good name is better than riches
Skull, the worst is yet to come
Evil dreads the cross
Evil flees from holy water
Evil dreads the rosaries
Evil flees from sunlight
We don't fear the evil
The Choir fears nothing at all
This alliance will never be broken!

[Chorus]

Now raise your fists up to the sky
Give us the horns
Do the world right
Battle as if there's no tomorrow
And give the evil infinite hatred
We are the chosen ones:
Grailknights
You are our right hand:
Battlechoir
This alliance will never be broken!

[Chorus]

3. The White Raven

The White Raven
I stood waiting at the
Wind-swept bay
For my ship come sailing by
The clouds broke open
I heard a young man's call
The White Raven
Sailed across the sky
I climbed higher and higher
Through the roaring storm
On a rope-ladder
I left my life behind
"Anchors away
And cast of the lines"
We conquer space and time
As I gaze at the world
From so high above
My heart grows heavy and
My mind fades away
As our vessel floats to
Celestial shores
I yearn for my home
A calm harbor to stay

[Chorus:]
We sail the clouds and
Seek the storm
Above the world
On our endless voyage home

The White Raven
Sailed across the sky
Black thunderheads
Piled up like hills
I saw lightning
Flash across the Sky
Death in the shape of
Golden snakes
"Is today the day we're going to die?"
I saw people run in panic
Shouting and screaming
My darkest fears had
Finally come true
But two eyes, full of hope
Looked at me
I'm sure they belonged to you
As I gaze at the storm
From right in between
My strength is growing
And sorrows fade away
As our vessels floats to celestial shores
Reminiscence of the past
My calm harbour to stay

[Chorus]

The White Raven
Sailed across the sky
The White Raven

4. Echoes Of Wisdom

Eternity reigns
In the halls of our fathers
Echoes of wisdom they all tried to seek
Silence swallows the sorrows of ages
The kingdom of twilight
Devours our sons
Forged by fire
On a cold autumn noon
Evil hands hold the chalice
To enlighten our doom

[Chorus:]
As we stem the tide
We shift black to white
Turn fire into ice and then
We toss the dice
The die is cast and we are not the last
To suffer death a ten thousand times
Ride with me, let us make history
Rise to my calls, we burn down the halls
Before we shall live
We suffer death a ten thousand times
From the dark to the daylight
Our Choir marches on
Skull tried to compel us
To creep on the ground
But our banners are crossed
Till the day evil is bound
Now tremble in terror
'Cause the grail has been found!
Forged by fire
On a cold autumn noon
Evil hands hold the chalice
To enlighten our doom

[Chorus]

5. When Good Turns Evil

His mind is twisted, his poor soul
Yearns to be free
His ugly body conceals a secret
No one can ever see
He was one of us
A long time ago
One day he broke the oath
And let the evil grow
Antagonize, recover your
Predestinated role
Don't let the beast within take control
Caught in anguish, slavery
And dubiety
Since he yielded to temptation
Damned to suffer endlessly
Once he was our fellow
A knight in shining armour
Now his torn nature
Does not know what to live for
Antagonize, recover your
Predestinated role
Don't let the beast within
Take control
Try to escape to resume your liberty
Never accept it to last eternally
It is not your fate, come along with us
It is not to late, regain old trust
Just break through, find confidence
We'll wait for you, refuse obedience
Antagonize, recover your
Predestinated role
Don't let the beast within
Take control
Try to escape to resume your liberty
Never accept it to last eternally

6. Tranquility's Embrace

Now that I know that
Nothing remains
Stronger I am for there is
No time to waste
Make sure you are not
Only a piece of flesh
Make your life a tale
Either good or bad
Close to the embrace of tranquility
The sun is diving into the sea
Take a deep breath and
Save your dreams
Raise your voice and sing with me

[Chorus:]
Long-lost days will dawn again
Despair and sorrow will
Fade in the end
All the pain you suffer
All the tears you cry
Are not in vain
For they show you are alive
Lonely I dwell in a
Black endless night
Still I am waiting for a
Bright-shining light
Take me away from
Darkness and fear
Send me a sign that
Salvation is near
Stay awake, don't fall asleep
Carry on, hold on to your belief
There'll be times to show strength
There'll be times to bleed
Now raise your voice and sing with me

[Chorus]

Feel the morning sun warm your skin
Let a new day begin

[Chorus]

7. Mortem Obi

Mortem obi
Surrounded by silence
Amid the shadows of time
Hollow and deep
My future's dim ghastly shine
No stone may fall
No river may flow
No hedge may grow
Like time wore away
On that very day I spent with you
Dark is my future
Dark is my past
I've loved, lost and feared
My presence at last
Lost my will to live
Fell asleep on a dark, dreary day
I doze the centuries away
Wake me up from my sleep
And I'll be born again

[Chorus:]
Life's a journey, I'm a traveller
On floating streams
Don't seek my heart
It's lost forevermore
Life's a journey, I'm a traveller
With hope and dreams
Time fades away as
I gaze at the shore
Help me to care
My heart is beating loud and fast
Help me to bear the burden of life

A light straight from your eyes
Beams brightly through the night
I follow the road
The end out of sight
No candle may flicker
No sundown will ever glow
No river will ever flow
No day will ever pass
Faster than a day with you

[Chorus]

Utendum est aetate
Morituri te salutant
Utendum est estate
E vita cede mortem obi

[Chorus]

Mortem obi

8. In For The Kill

In for the kill!
In for the kill is the call
Of a thousand throats
Came together at the gates of
Grailham City
Eager to fight we abominate the turncoats
Strong we are, side-by-side
Well tanked up but witty
Light in the east, heat of the south
Pride in the west, death from the north
Light in the east, heat of the south
Pride in the west, death from the north

[Chorus:]
Saving the grail is our entire desire
The sun never sets on the
Grailknights' empire
Tonight we are in for the kill

In for the kill, let us move
Heaven and earth
High-flyers as we are, the sky is no limit
March alone but strike together
No bitterness of hearth
No matter where you come from
Justice is the remit
Light in the east, heat of the south
Pride in the west, death from the north
Light in the east, heat of the south
Pride in the west, death from the north

[Chorus]

In for the kill!
Light in the east, heat of the south
Pride in the west, death from the north
Light in the east, heat of the south
Pride in the west, death from the north

[Chorus]

9. Grailquest Gladiators

Raging madness, chaos and decay
Black smoke darkens the day
Cries of wounded cut the air
A little fight turns into a nightmare
We're on the verge of war
So spring to arms and join us
No time to hesitate
Neither wonders nor
Prayers will help
It's just you an your sword!

[Chorus:]
We are flesh and bones
Gladiators, drenched in blood
Waving grailquest flags
Raised above our heads

Beyond sanity the dying goes on
Till both power and bravery are gone
From far away
The sound of pounding drums
Light is fading as evening comes
Forger, do not regret
Today we grind the battle-axe
No time to hesitate
Neither wonders nor
Prayers will help
It's just you and your sword!

[Chorus]

Into deepest spheres we drift away
Tell me, have we gone astray?
Our callous eyes stare into space
There is nothing but
Emptiness to face

[Chorus]

10. Der König Von Thule

Es war ein König in Thule,
Gar treu bis an das Grab,
Dem sterbend seine Buhle
Einen goldnen Becher gab.
Es ging ihm nichts darüber,
Er leert ihn jeden Schmaus;
Die Augen gingen ihm über,
So oft er trank daraus.
Und als er kam zu sterben,
Zählt' er seine Städt im Reich,
Gönnt' alles seinen Erben,
Den Becher nicht zugleich.
Er saß beim Königsmahle,
Die Ritter um ihn her,
Auf hohem Vätersaale,
Dort auf dem Schloß am Meer.
Dort stand der alte Zecher,
Trank letzte Lebensglut
Und warf den heiligen Becher
Hinunter in die Flut.
Er sah ihn stürzen, trinken
Und sinken tief ins Meer.
Die Augen täten ihm sinken;
Trank nie einen Tropfen mehr.
