Aurelio Voltaire - Crusade lyrics
[Aurelio Voltaire - Crusade lyrics]
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 breath is fire
Their tongues are forked
Thus are the beasts of Dragon's Gate
I heard my father's words 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 it's 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 his young
I heard my father's words deep in my heart
"Son, know your enemy, as I know my son"
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 breath 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"
