And as they rode across the sand
All sworn to oath the king's command
And as they rode on through the storm
With only robes to keep them warm
And as the sun beats upon the face
A holy warrior saying grace
The massage that they had to learn
A lifetime's faith is hard to learn
For he has spoken
Bodies buried in the sand, journey to the holy land
Converging on the path to Heaven, saving grace, their only plan
Soldier's dying on the way, bodies, spirit lead astray
The Templar laden with a lonely road to save their souls, they pray
Bring all your sins to erase, and rise or fall by the blade
Such blind faith, not hard to see (as they all bleed)
Bringing death across the sea
Messina's port to holy land (the holy land)
All is as God wills for every man
For he has spoken
Bodies buried in the sand, journey to the holy land
Converging on the path to heaven, saving grace, their only plan
Soldier's dying on the way, bodies, spirit lead astray
The Templar laden with a lonely road to save their souls, they pray
The freezing cold of desert night
The blistering heat of desert day
Was to cut their numbers down, oh, so cruel
Before they made across the sea, onto the land of Galilee
It wasn't God's design to see them die this way
From the sight of Jerusalem to the
Sound of all the armies on the ground
The holy land, and the last crusade was almost in their grasp
For salvation or for greed, they crossed the world in search of thee
Bearing with them all their sins to the kingdom that forgive
Never was such blind faith put to the fore
And it never will be seen anymore
