Lemuria - The Cross And The Crusade lyrics
Your rating:
My force will rise In the name of God And war shall come upon your reign Cleansing it's heretic belief Repent now or the wrath of God Will hunt you down I can't betray my people For freedom is the highest good of man All will be punished for a few Don't make them victims of your tyranny So that's what you have to say You slave of the devil's breed You shall linger in dismay And now prepare for war "And thus the die was cast, as the church started her campaign of hate The lands of Occitania trembled but the armies prepared for fame and glory" Three missionaries were sent to the lands infected with heresy Distrusted, detested and disdained, preceded by fear and discontent So times grew darker and darker, and hope seemed all but lost The crusade was poised to strike, enticing, foreboding And men of the cloth turned into servants of death Servants of death! I made an effort to repent and pay for my sins Atonement with church and pope But their claims were harsh and unjust I'd never betray my people For his disobedience the count was punished Humiliated, tortured and broken He promised to take up the cross And fulfil the judgement of God Now in the heat of night People of the South Toulouse turned on us Come, my lords and knights As one we ride out Stand strong and defend Here We will fight Until death Do us part For fame and pride We will fight Follow me to war We will fight Until death Do us part For fame and pride We will fight Follow me to war May all who join the Greatest mission of our time Be granted forgiveness of sin and a wealth worthy of God Our forces will prevail, led by angels and bringers of faith, And all who oppose my will shall drown in eternal misery I'll hunt them down with all my might! "... Negotium pacis et fidei..."
