Track Name: Antioch
Byzantine, awaited them, with cold eyes
Rooms of gold to buy their noble hearts
Alexius schemed to use them for his own ends
Antioch was his key to the east.

Standing on the hill, their hearts sank to see
A city in the mountains – Impregnable
The only way forward in God's name
Was it a test? Was it the end?
Outside the walls - The Cold Winter came

“The chill reaches our souls
Are we abandoned by Our Lord?
This mammoth of stone
We lay siege to our faith”

Months of starvation
The poor reduced to eating waste
Persecuting Latins inside
The Franks butchered any they could find
Bohemond bought a traitor inside
The Princes agreed - the first got the prize
Attacking from the inside and out
The Crusaders left none alive

“God wills it” they cried

The day after the slaughter
They became the besieged
But, there was a vision of the lance of Christ.

They brought it outside of the walls...
Track Name: Outremer
Failing light - on the Eastern Tide
All in vain - loss of Levantine
Crusignatus - the blood-stained land calls.

Fearing death - I will shed blood
Other side - horrors await me
Demons - wreathed in flame
Weigh my soul - deem me worthy.

I heard the sermon at Clermont
“We have been called by God”

Peasant and Prince march eastwards
Conquering in God's name.
Inspired by our righteous cause
The crusade for Christendom.

Outremer!
