Crusade |
| Long ago, I went to war |
| To fight the scourge |
| Of Christendom |
| I held aloft my blessed sword |
| And said |
| «By God |
| Let them come.» |
| They said their eyes |
| Are red as flame |
| I heard it told |
| From hell they came |
| Their breath is fire |
| Their tongues are forked |
| Thus are the beasts |
| Of Dragon’s Gate |
| I heard my father’s words |
| Deep in my heart |
| «Son, know your enemy |
| As I know my son.» |
| The Fates were kind |
| They let me in |
| The dragon’s lair |
| The den of sin |
| I placed my sword upon its heart and with a prayer |
| I thrust it in |
| The dragon fell |
| Upon the ground |
| Twas then I heard |
| A whimpering sound |
| A dragonling |
| To his father clung |
| Who only fought |
| To protect his young |
| I heard my father’s words |
| Deep in my heart |
| «Son know your enemy |
| As I know my son» |
| And now my son |
| Is off to war |
| To fight the new scourge |
| Of Christendom |
| He holds aloft his brazen sword |
| And says |
| «Dad |
| Let them come» |
| He swears their eyes |
| Are red as flame |
| And heard it told |
| From hell they came |
| Their breath is fire |
| Their tongues are forked thus |
| Are the men of Muslim faith |
| Son, hear you father clear |
| Deep in your heart |
| «Son, know your enemy |
| As I would have them know |
| My son.» |
