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
