Antioch
11:13
|
|||
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

Outremer
09:39
|
|||
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!

Adela
05:44
|
|||
Say a prayer for me, love
Softly
Praise the Lord who gave us hope
He will save us.
Though this land is dark
He will guide me.
Praise the Lord who'll bring me home
For I shed blood for Him
And it's the least that He could do.
Adela, wait here for me
Keep your eyes on the horizon
For when I return
I'll be clean
Give me strength, oh Lord
Feed us.
Surely He won't let us starve
He will save us.
Praise to you, oh Lord
Holy
Jesus said, "Thou shalt not kill."
Yet here I stand
With blood on my hands
Adela, wait here for me
Keep your eyes on the horizon
For when I return
We’ll be free.

The Divine Soulless
03:51
|
|||
Searching, for divinity
Though falling into the depths of depravity
The Divine Soulless - march for the last time.
The cycle of Man - Leave their souls behind
The nature of Man - Leave their souls behind

Jerusalem
12:18
|
|
||
The culmination of three bloody years
The holy city obscured by tears
Gazing at the heart of Christendom
The end of our crusade has come
Under its stone shell, reaching to the heavens
The crusaders built great engines of war
Colossal towers rose from the sand
Saracen eyes watching from the walls
Horns rang out one dawn
A siege tower was gone
Godfrey had deceived them
The beast poised at a weaker wall
Lumbering forward
Struck by raining fire
It would not light
The Franks poured into the walls
In the name of Our Lord
Slay them all
Our swords guided by God
Creating a Heaven on Earth
God wills it!
The defenders fled in fear - Knowing their reputation
The Crusaders gave no quarter - Revelling in violence
Screams of women and children - Indiscriminate slaughter
They leapt from the walls- Revelling in the blood
As the slaughter began - Killed them as they ran
Wading through blood -The city bleeds for us
Praying at Its holy site - Cleansing our blood-stained minds
God wills it
They fled.
