It is arguably a darkly romantic theme, mixing the desire of a religious lady with someone very contrary to her faith, leading to the point of highlighting the weakness of the flesh and the energy that is released through desire, the value of blood and the chalice between her thighs.
lyrics
HOLY GRAIL
The holy cross is freezing
in your eyes its reflection
Alone
my whole mind is darkness
your skin in my hands is a secret
how strange is the pleasure
spill your blood on my tongue
Coro I
if your love is condemned
to my hell
the doors of ligth will close
in your sky
if my darkness fills you
you will lose your faith
my words in blood will spill
in your holy grail
