Holy Grail

Well I've seen bad, an' I've seen good
An' I've seen a balance of the two
But ne'er before have I seen such blaze
As that I've seen from you.
An' I've seen good, an' I've seen evil
Sometimes I see evil more
But I tell you that it's neither of them
That makes me quite this sore.

So came a knockin' the other day
One asked for a sip of tea
Maybe good news, maybe the booze
Maybe the soul of me.

Now if you found a Holy Grail
Would you drink its wine?
Would you pray for heaven's gifts?
Would you drink its brine?
Would you sell it to the devil
In trade for his soul undone?
Would you give it for a life?
Would you trade it for The One?

Well I've seen heaven, an' I've seen hell
An' I've seen Earth between
But ne'er before have I seen such days
As the ones I've seen in me.
An' I've seen light, an' I've seen dark
Sometimes I've seen what's right
But I say it's none of them
I know is a certain might.

So Satan came knockin' the other day
Asked for a beer, or three
Maybe bad news, maybe the booze
Maybe the soul of me.

Now if you found a Holy Grail
Would you drink its wine?
Would you pray for heaven's gifts?
Would you drink its brine?
Would you sell it to the devil
In trade for his soul undone?
Would you give it for a life?
Would you trade it for The One?


Now there is light
And there is dark
And something in between
But if I'm right
I must embark
On a journey perchance to dream.

So I came knockin' the other day
Asked to speak with me
Maybe some news, maybe to choose
What I've come to be.

Now if you found a Holy Grail
Would you drink its wine?
Would you pray for heaven's gifts?
Would you drink its brine?
Would you sell it to the devil
In trade for his soul undone?
Would you give it for a life?
Would you trade it for The One?
