Soulmates - The Great Siege Of Malta songtekst

Je score:

The Great Siege Of Malta



After they had realized that there was no chance to flee,



They began glancing - frequently to the sea



Peaceful lights were glimmering from some boats to the shore



Soon they expected the start - of a tremendous war



The Ottoman armada arrived next day at dawn



While all Maltese and knights had already withdrawn



200 ships - around the small Maltese island



With 40.000 soldiers they were manned



Too many invaders against a small group of Maltese



Spain wasn't responsive to the Maltese pleas



A desperate bid to the Vice King of Sicily



But no help at all - no one you could see



Thousands of bullets a day were fired into the fort



Never a break – on this island they were court



Impossible for them – to save the fort



But a hasty triumph – they were able to thwart



When darkness of the night become as bright as day,



Despite the gunners of the corsairs – the brave soldiers stay,



The brightness in the harbor, reflects to the bay



In these lights of fire – no one can run away



Le Valette said – only victory or death



The knights of Saint John - fought to their last breath



And the preachers exacted in front of the altar



Defend the world at all costs - defend Malta



For many weeks they were fighting for their lives



With guns and axes sometimes with swords and knifes



From ten thousand defenders - only 600 survived



The invaders expelled - when soldiers from Sicily arrived



The great siege of Malta has its own place in history



But how they survived - is still a mystery



In those days of the siege, the heroic fighters had been born



Most of them lost their lives – in the military storm.



From the rubble of the battle, a new city arose



Which is called Valetta - as everybody knows
