Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Reckless men
So righteous, so
Clean
Towards the light
So bashful, so
Pure
[Verse 2]
Who told you to
Abandon life
Your strength
Free will
And bow for the light?
The light
And turn from the spinning wheel
[Verse 3]
Fear of the judgement
Obey!
[Verse 4]
You have the key
To mystery
Pick up the ruins, unveil and see
Judgement comes
Before us lie
The path of war and you may die
[Verse 5]
You have the key
Cross over and see
The old and wind-cold tree
Walk the steps
And you'll hear the winds that cry
[Verse 6]
You have the key
To mystery
Pick up the ruins, unveil and see
Judgement comes
Before us lie
The path of war and you may die
[Verse 7]
You have the key
Cross over and see
The old and wind-cold tree
Walk the steps
And you'll hear the winds that cry
[Verse 8]
Search beyond the blinded eyes
(Listen before you preach)
Don't leave yourself behind
[Verse 9]
Honor life
When life has ceased
(Welcome the dawn)
Beware the glory tales
[Verse 10]
Watch their deeds
So just and fair
Crusaders
(crusaders, crusaders, crusaders)
Appointed by God
[Verse 11]
Who told you to
Step inside and
Preach?
Did you forget
The daggers lurking in the dark?
[Verse 12]
Couldn't you listen?
Or did you ever learn how?
Were you saved?
Were you saved so you could slaughter
With grace?
[Verse 13]
You have the key
To mystery
Pick up the ruins, unveil and see
Judgement comes
Before us lie
The path of war and you may die
[Verse 14]
You have the key
Cross over and see
The old and wind-cold tree
Walk the steps
And you'll hear the winds that cry
You have the key
To mystery
Pick up the ruins, unveil and see
[Verse 15]
Judgement comes
Before us lie
The path of war and you may die
You have the key
Cross over and see
The old and wind-cold tree
Walk the steps
And you'll hear the winds that cry
[Verse 16]
Search beyond the blinded eyes
(Listen before you preach)
Don't leave yourself behind
[Verse 17]
Honor life
When life has ceased
(Welcome the dawn)
Beware the glory tales
[Verse 18]
Hold on
Don't fade away
Don't be afraid to bleed
Don't be afraid to dream
[Verse 19]
Hold on don't fade away
Don't be afraid to bleed
Afraid to dream
Let the elders enlighten the path
They have cried for you
Died for you
[Verse 20]
(Ride on)
(Ride on)
(Ride on)
(Ride on)
