Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Say, will you stand up for Christ & combat?
[Verse 2]
Ride, defend the Kingdom of God
Alive in the conquest of Normans
Crossed the land to Byzantine shores
We storm Constantinople's walls
Gone ahead, the army went on
Arrived at the river of Jordan
Brave the dread, Jerusalem's sons
And one by one the pilgrims fall
[Verse 3]
And by the city of Siron
Their bodies lying to rot
And underneath blood and iron
Lies the promise and honor of God
[Verse 4]
Say, will you stand up for Christ & combat?
Will you fight like a rebel, a rebel in black?
Say, will you stand up for Christ & combat?
Will you sanctify the dark?
[Verse 5]
Kill and pray, crusaders at heart
In 1097 we started
Lost the way and spread all apart
The Holy Roman Empire
The remaining knights prepared for attack
To honor the prophet departed
On they fought, with no turning back
The Kingdom rise forevermore
[Verse 6]
And by the city of Siron
Their bodies lying to rot
And underneath blood and iron
Lies the promise and honor of God
[Verse 7]
Go straight to Heaven for Christ & combat
Give your life for the sanctum that you never had
Take place in Heaven for Christ & combat
Gone to sanctify the dark
[Verse 8]
Christ, Christ & combat
Christ & combat
Christ and in Heaven we are
Christ, Christ & combat
Christ & combat
Christ and in Heaven we are
Christ, Christ & combat
Christ & combat
Christ and in Heaven we are
Christ, Christ & combat
Christ & combat
Christ & combat
[Verse 9]
Ten thousand men died for Christ & combat
Gone as mighty crusaders and never came back
Ascend to Heaven for Christ & combat
In remembrance of the dark
[Verse 10]
Say, will you stand up for Christ & combat?
