Lyrics
ROMAN NAILS, HOLY HANDS
Holy Grail, Holy Lands,
Roman nails, Holy Hands,
Holy Grail, Holy Lands,
Roman nails, Holy Hands.
When Roman nails met holy hands,
Earthquakes rumbled throughout the land;
Tall men trembled and could not stand;
Twelve watchtowers all stood unmanned;
When Roman nails met holy hands.
Holy Grail, Holy Lands,
Roman nails, Holy Hands,
Holy Grail, Holy Lands,
Roman nails, Holy Hands.
When Roman nails met holy hands,
The flames of hell were fiercely fanned;
Heat too intense for man to stand,
Scorched the unsaved across the land;
When Roman nails met holy hands.
Holy Grail, Holy Lands,
Roman nails, Holy Hands,
Holy Grail, Holy Lands,
Roman nails, Holy Hands.
When Roman nails met holy hands,
It marked the beginning of God’s last plan;
The blood-bought salvation of man.
Hard to believe this all began
When Roman nails met holy hands.
Holy Grail, Holy Lands,
Roman nails, Holy Hands,
Holy Grail, Holy Lands,
Roman nails, Holy Hands.
