Der Gral

Schandmaul

lyrics.background

A folk-rock interpretation of the Grail myth, blending Arthurian legend with the historical mystery of the Knights Templar in the Pyrenees.

Arthurian Influences

The lyrics explicitly name Perceval (Parzival) and Bors, two of the three knights in traditional Arthurian lore destined to achieve the Holy Grail. This ties the song to the literary cycle of the Matter of Britain.

The Pyrenees and Templars

By mentioning the Pyrenees and Templar guards, the song references the popular historical theory or myth that the Grail was hidden in Montségur or other fortresses in Southern France.

Schandmaul's Medieval Style

The band utilizes archaic-sounding German verbs and nouns to establish a medieval atmosphere, typical of the 'Mittelalter-Rock' genre which often blends modern instruments with historical themes.
