Fear the Cross

Hear the pope, the church needs more

No better way than holy war

Ships of Venice, spears of Frankia

Reach the coasts of Levantia

For the crusade, our spirits shall rise

In the name of glory, we conquer the skies

Crusaders unite, we fight side by side

With courage and honor, we turn the tides

Venice, nervous, fears for money

The first heresy, the siege of Zara

First doubts arise, an uproar of waverers

No virtues seen, just raiding crusaders

For the crusade, our spirits shall rise

In the name of glory, we conquer the skies

Crusaders unite, we fight side by side

With courage and honor, we turn the tides

In this crusade, our faith seems to rest

The acts of war, unjust at best

Arrival at Byzanz, a final big test

No values no morals, all is repressed

The weight of faith, twisted by greed

Once a banner of salvation

Now a shadow on the land

The winds from the Bosporus carried

Whispers of betrayal

Brother against brother, steel against stone

The walls of Byzantium wept crimson

Drowned in the screams of the fallen

A city of light reduced to ashes

A legacy of faith covered in shame

Fear the cross

For it no longer sanctifies

It condemns

Constantinople, it trembles, it's lit

Brother fights brother till utter defeat

The holy mission a bitter failure

Crusaders turned sinners due misbehaviour

For the crusade, our spirits shall rise

In the name of glory, we conquer the skies

Crusaders unite, we fight side by side

With courage and honor, we turn the tides

In this crusade our spirits went numb

The end justified the means against men

Humanity lost, the church took a hit

But we as defenders must never, never quit
