The Grail Cannot Wait (Percival)

[Verse 1] The morning came through silver trees while Camelot still slept The halls were full of empty cups and promises they kept I saddled up before the dawn and turned my horse away For some are called to rule a throne and some are called to stray [Pre-Chorus] The road is long the road is wide The answers hide where rivers wind [Chorus] The Grail cannot wait the Grail still calls my name While kingdoms rise and kingdoms fall the quest remains the same Let others fight for crowns of gold or argue who should reign The Grail cannot wait for them and it cannot wait for me [Verse 2] I passed a rider heading south he spoke of war and fear Of banners breaking in the wind and armies gathering near I wished him well and rode along for battles come and go But sacred things are harder still than most will ever know [Pre-Chorus] Beyond the hills beyond the rain A distant light remains [Chorus] The Grail cannot wait the Grail still calls my name While kingdoms rise and kingdoms fall the quest remains the same Let others chase forgotten crowns or seek eternal fame The Grail cannot wait for them and it cannot wait for me [Bridge] Perhaps they think I've lost my way Perhaps they laugh behind my back But every map I've ever seen was drawn by those who stayed on track The Grail lies somewhere yet unseen beyond the world they know And if I find it all alone then all of Camelot may grow [Final Chorus] The Grail cannot wait the Grail still calls my name Though no one else remembers why I carry on the flame The world may choose another road but mine remains the same The Grail cannot wait for them and it cannot wait for me [Outro] So let the kingdoms do as they please I've got a quest to finish.
