Holy Grail
Hunters Collectors Lyrics

Woke up this morning
The singer had a dream that inspired him to write a song.

From the strangest dream
The dream was unusual or surreal.

I was in the biggest army
The singer was part of a large group of people.

The world has ever seen
This group of people was one of the largest in history.

We were marching as one
The group was united and working together towards a common goal.

On the road to the holy grail
This common goal was to find the Holy Grail.

Started out
The group began their journey.

Seeking fortune and glory
The group was looking for wealth and fame.

It's a short song, but it's a
The singer acknowledges the song is brief, but impactful.

Hell of a story, when you
The journey was a difficult but captivating one.

Spend your lifetime trying to get
The group had been searching for the Holy Grail for a long time.

Your hands on the Holy Grail
Their ultimate goal was to find and possess the Holy Grail.

But have you heard about the Great Crusade?
The singer shifts to talking about a different event: the Great Crusade.

We ran into millions, and nobody got paid
The group encountered many people during this Crusade, but did not receive any monetary compensation for their actions.

Yeah, we razed four corners of the globe
As part of this Crusade, the group conquered and destroyed many places across the world.

For the Holy Grail
Their motivation for doing so was finding the Holy Grail.

All the locals scattered
The people who lived in these places fled or hid from the group's attacks.

They were hiding in the snow
Some of the locals tried to avoid detection by hiding in the snow.

We were so far from home
The group was far from where they originated.

So how were we to know
They did not know what they would find on this journey.

There'd be nothing left to plunder
The group did not find anything of value in the end.

When we stumbled on the Holy Grail?
Despite their lack of finding something of value, they did find the Holy Grail.

We were foolish beings
The singer reflects on the group's actions and recognizes they made mistakes.

But we were dying like flies
Many members of the group died on this journey.

And those big black birds
Crows, a common symbol of death, were present during their hardships.

They were circling in the sky
These birds circled overhead as the group suffered.

And you know what they say, yeah
The singer is about to give a common saying or phrase.

Nobody deserves to die
The saying is that death is an undeserved punishment or consequence.

Oh I
The singer shifts focus to himself.

I've been searching for an easy way
He has been searching for a simpler way out of his problems.

To escape the cold light of day
He has been trying to avoid or ignore the harsh reality of his situation.

I've been high, and I've been low
The singer has experienced both good and bad times.

But I've got nowhere else to go
Despite the highs and lows, the singer feels like he has no other options.

There's nowhere else to go
The singer emphasizes that he is stuck where he is.

I followed orders
The singer was part of a team and followed the instructions given to him.

God knows where I'd be
If he did not follow orders, the singer is uncertain where he would be now.

But I woke up alone
Despite being part of a team, the singer is currently by himself.

All my wounds were clean
The singer's injuries have been treated and healed.

I'm still here
The singer has persisted despite the hardships he has faced.

I'm still a fool for the Holy Grail
Despite everything, the singer still feels drawn to the symbol of the Holy Grail and its meaning of seeking something beyond oneself.
