The 7th Crusade Lyrics

Album: Fools

The church in need of resurrection

To restore the unstable faith

Challenged the unbelievers

The holy city would be saved

Lots of true believers

Were eager to participate

As many a king and knight

Were lured by the bait

We rode off to another battle

It would lead to another raid

Depredation our inclination

Doing God's work was well paid

Conveying extrication

Salvation given by the sword

Butchering all heathens

Who didn't submit to our Lord

We are Crusader

On a rise of revenge

Avenge the crucifixion of our Lord

We are Crusader

On our chest we wear God's mark

All of us were summoned to fight the dark

Words of chivalry were spoken

They were washed out by the wine

Promises of a truce were broken

Easy killing so divine

Devotion was our weakness

And the church our alibi

Raping pagan women

Only to purify

After a day of carnage

Everyone was caught

Seventy yards from paradise

The final battle would be fought

We found ourselves surrounded

By armies covered in gold

We had nothing to offer

Our souls had all been sold

Seven days the battle lasted

We were falling one by one

Even for knights there was no quarter

Left to die in a red hot sun

Captured cities retaken

Payback time had begun

Villagers were slain

God's army on the run
