Straight from Jerusalem To the gates of Babylon The crusade moves on and on From the Danish shores of blood To the kingdom of the King With evil tongues we sing
They call it holy war We have seen it all before Unwritten pages will burn in flames Die by the blade, die by the sword Read them their last rites, it's a bloodbath of knights Die by the blade, die by the sword Read them their last rites, it's a nightmare Bloodbath of knights
Been centuries of war And men have died in vain No one can cease the pain They wheel the bloody sword The fight goes on till dawn And the battle still rages on
They call it holy war We have seen it all before Unwritten pages will burn in flames Die by the blade, die by the sword Read them their last rites, it's a bloodbath of knights Die by the blade, die by the sword Read them their last rites, it's a nightmare Bloodbath of knights
Blinded in darkness by fear Judgement of heaven is near The fall of the gods and the holy Prophets of doom bring us mercy
They call it holy war We have seen it all before Unwritten pages will burn in flames Die by the blade, die by the sword Read them their last rites, it's a bloodbath of knights Die by the blade, die by the sword Read them their last rites, it's a nightmare Bloodbath of knights Bloodbath of knights Bloodbath of knights
