Wear the blood red cross
Don your helmet and shield
Grip your broad sword in your hand
Dont Fail the Holy Grail

Raise your blade
fight valiently til the end
Hold onto your loyalty
The Christian's War

The clash of blades reververates
throughout the land
your shield, dented, disables
and suddenly you lie prostrate, weary

Where is your holy grail?
where does your Ark lie now?
Your shroud of Turin has been lost.
Thine body is left strewn on the battleground

But Alive, you rise
gripped with sweaty warmth
and are lifted through the gently cool air
Into the toybox
Tomorrow you will fight again
The Holy Grail awaits
