The Battle - Saracen Ascension |
| Turan is lost, no retreat |
| The heathens we’ll meet |
| Not one drop to drink |
| The spring without reach |
| Now surrounded by foes |
| On this damn plateau |
| This camp is no longer safe |
| Running out of supplies |
| Arrows go down |
| Blinded by smoke we march |
| Still we go on |
| Losing faith, our knights defecting — it’s our kings disgrace |
| This battle is over — we’re beaten and lost |
| There is nowhere to go |
| Crusaders defeated — the Holy Land’s lost |
| Christians down on the ground |
| Raymond’s charges in vain |
| There’s nothing to gain |
| Cut off from the rest |
| Men and horses were slain |
| Defections in droves |
| The only ones brave |
| The knights of the orders alone |
| Not more than 3000 men we are |
| Who are fleeing the fields of death |
| Escape from the heathen’s grasp |
| Led by count Raymond and Balian |
| Attacked by the blazing sun |
| We are on our way home |
| Charging on Saladin |
| Again and again |
| But it’s all over now |
| When the tent falls |
| This battle is over — we’re beaten and lost |
| There is no way to go |
| Crusaders defeated — the Holy Land’s lost |
| Christians down on the ground |
| Saracen Ascension — our kingdom is gone |
| We are down on our knees |
| We will rise again — we will return |
| Beat them once and for all |
| «Only a small number of Crusaders survived the battle at the Horns of Hattin |
| Those who didn’t die or flee from the battlefield were captured, |
| among them former King Guy of Lusignan, Gerard of Ridefort, Raynald of |
| Chatillon and many others |
| In the meantime, Richard I Lionheart, King of England, supported by the pope, |
| was already preparing another crusade, swearing to regain the Holy Land for |
| the sake of Christianity.» |
