    Oh
    So ha-

    Woke up this morning
    From the strangest dream
    I was in the biggest army
    The world has ever seen
    We were marching as one
    On the road to the holy grail

    Started out
    Seeking fortune and glory
    It's a short song, but it's a
    Hell of a story, when you
    Spend your lifetime trying to get
    Your hands on the Holy Grail

    But have you heard about the Great Crusade?
    We ran into millions, and nobody got paid
    Yeah, we razed four corners of the globe
    For the Holy Grail

    All the locals scattered
    They were hiding in the snow
    We were so far from home
    So how were we to know
    There'd be nothing left to plunder
    When we stumbled on the Holy Grail?

    We were foolish beings
    But we were dying like flies
    And those big black birds
    They were circling in the sky
    And you know what they say, yeah
    Nobody deserves to die

    Oh I
    I've been searching for an easy way
    To escape the cold light of day
    I've been high, and I've been low
    But I've got nowhere else to go
    There's nowhere else to go

    I followed orders
    God knows where I'd be
    But I woke up alone
    All my wounds were clean
    I'm still here
    I'm still a fool for the Holy Grail
    Oh yeah
    I'm a fool for the Holy Grail Writer/s: Barry Palmer, Douglas Falconer, Jeremy Smith, John Archer, John Howard, Mark Seymour, Michael Waters, Robert Miles
