3) Galahad is also a German folkrock/medieval band. The English biography from their website:

"It seems to be not easy to describe Galahad´s music with only a few words.

Elements of rock, mediaeval and classical music as well as a little bit of celtic mystic create an individual style of music. This versatility is also shown by using various and different instrumentation.

A high number of events in Germany (e.g. “Newcomer of the Year” 1987, WDR / West-German-Broadcast– Folk-Award, TV-appearance) and the neighbouring foreign countries took Galahad to a plenty of indoor- and open-air-concerts and festivals (e.g. “Little Woodstock”, “Euro-Folk-Festival” and many more).

Highlights of the last years were the support-act of Jethro Tull during their German tour 1999 in Hameln, Berlin and Wurzburg, the nomination for the “German Rock Award” 2000, the producing of the “Myrddin”-album by famous German rock-producer Eroc (ex-Grobschnitt, Philip Boa, Tic Tac Toe), “CD of the Week” in Belgium Broadcast, “Celtic Queen” for many weeks as No. 1 in the internet download charts of “track4” and the appearance on several compilation-CDs (e.g. “Miroque”, “Aeterna”, “Mystica Antiqua”, “Celebrant 2003”)

In November 2006 the sixth Galahad-album “Ladhivan” was released. Rock-guitars, flute, some folky arrangemets and characteristic vocals let Galahad once more stay to their own style. "

4) Galahad is a heavy metal band from El Salvador

Haunted
Galahad Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

They say the clock is always ticking away
But I say, it's only just started
It all comes and it all goes
and then it all comes again
constantly turning, turning in circles
It's coming back to haunt who ever wants to be haunted

Spooky!

Life is a roller coaster... to some
And to those... this roller coaster
Is about to start again
Yes, it's about to start again

We've paid our entrance fee
Time after time
Year after year
Eyes down, hands on the wheel
And now we're at the front of the starting grid again
Ready for the off
Here we go, here we go again
We got to watch out for the other 'bad' guys cause they don't play it straight
We're whiter than white, most of the time anyway
Got to play by the rules, our rules

Oh what a surprise, what a surprise!!
Ain't going to take any more lies!!
