Crusader - The 7th Crusade lyrics

[Lyrics by Mark Theunssens] [Adaptations by d**hKnight] 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 k**ing 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
