"Crusade" Lyrics

Long ago,
I went to war
To fight the scourge
Of Christendom
I held aloft my blessed sword
And said,
"By God Let them come."

They said their eyes
Are red as flame
I heard it told
From Hell they came
Their Breathe is fire
Their tongues are forked
Thus are the beasts of
Dragon's gate

I heard my father's word
Deep in my heart
"Son know your enemy
as I know my son"

The fates were kind
They let me in
The Dragon's lair
the den of sin
I placed my sword
Upon its heart and
With a prayer
I thrust it in

The dragon fell
Upon the ground
Twas then I heard
A whimpering sound
A dragonling
To his father clung
Who only fought
To protect its young

I heard my father's words
Deep in my heart
"Son know your enemy
As i know my son"

And now my son
Is off to war
To fight the new scourge
Of Christendom
He holds aloft
His brazen sword
And says,
"Dad, Let them come."

He swears their eyes
Are red as flame
And heard it told
From hell they came
Their breathe is fire
Their tongues are forked
Thus are the men
Of Muslim faith

Son hear your father clear
Deep in your heart
Son Know your enemy
As i would have them know
My son
