The Kingdom! The savior will save us

The Kingdom! The savior will be our guiding light

For weeks now, it seems like we’ve traveled through limbo

And at last we see her shine, Constantinople!

Sinners and the saintly will kneel!

Sinners and the saintly will halt for Alexios

The saints reign from heaven

The saints!

Swear him oaths of fealty and he’ll open up the way

Cresting, the waves of crusaders

Spilling down from off the hill

Resting, the Queen of all Cities

Swear Alexios your word and then be on your way

Expanses we traversed, starvation

The desert, the hunger — it drove us to our breaking point

The horses were cut and, little by little, the poor things were drained until one day they collapsed to the ground

Sinners and the saintly will march!

Sinners and the saintly will go marching to their fate

The saints reign from heaven

The saints!

Spirit and the body unite when pushed to the edge

Left behind Constantinople

We swore to return what was theirs

Blessed be the Queen of all Cities

For all the lands and people lost, lost to Seljuk Turks

Far off in the distance, I see Nicaea

Far off in the distance, perhaps we’ll find relief

Fortress in shrouds

Shimmers on the lake

Head in the clouds

Coming down the hill

Long did I seek for a path to salvation

Never could I wash off the scales from my poor eyes

Long did I struggle to free myself from my chains

Never could I break off the bindings of my guilt and shame

Sinners and the saintly will fall

Sinners and the saintly are equals in the great abyss

The saints reign from heaven

The saints!

When I take my last breath, I hope I can laugh and smile

But how can I live with this burden?

How can I ease my heart before I die?

Grace to the ones we have plundered

I will never sleep the same

Grant me healing rain

Rain now

I will never be alone

Weeping, trembling at the throne Golden eyes stare back at me
