Judicator - It Falls to Jerusalem lyrics

On a silent
Starless night Bohemond feigned retreat
On a silent
Starless night Antioch bled from every pore

Helpless I watch, useless on this perch
My wounds have healed
But still I cannot fight

All that it took was one man’s betrayal
Open the gates, behold the wrath of God

Blessed are you, you who go to war
Blessed are you, you who fight for God
The winds are howling, crying out for change
The southern winds are baying
Crying out for love

Such carnage, revolting
It’s hard to stomach all the gore
Mangled, contorted

It’s tragic, but alas!
They had a chance to surrender
And this is the way it’s always been

For hundreds of years we
Were the targeted Kafir
Fighting to hold onto each parcel of land
The heart of the Jihad
Pumping blood and destruction into the
Veins of Western nations

Bohemond, clever and sly
Arranged to steal away command of Antioch

You’d break the oath you swore
To return what was theirs?
I call you coward, to cheat Alexios!

Purged of my guilt and yet I
Feel no peace of mind
We share the same blood as the beasts
I feel it throb in every wound
That I took on balance me!

Jerusalem is where it falls to cut
Out the rot from humankind
Jerusalem is where it falls for us to choose
To end the weakness in our hearts

Under my leadership we took Jerusalem
They offered me it's gold, coveted crown

How could I wear a crown of gold in the same
City where Christ did wear a crown of thorns?
Lead as the King of Kings
And serve your fellow man lovingly
Jerusalem is where it falls to cut
Out the rot from humankind
Jerusalem is where it falls for us to
Choose between forgiveness and the beast
