Crusader

[Lyrics by Mark Theunssens]
[Adaptations by DeathKnight]
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 Gods work was well paid
Conveying extrication
Salvation given by the sword
Butchering all heathens
Who didnt 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 Gods 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
Gods army on the run
