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
