(Guy of Lusignan, King of Jerusalem) |
|
Out of Sephoria |
|
On July 3rd we are |
|
The vanguard glorious |
|
Our rearguard pray for us |
|
We will reach Tiberias |
|
Nine more painful miles, alas! |
|
( |
|
The Christian army) |
|
We will prevail (onward we go!!!) |
|
Our glorious king we hail |
|
Onward! The battlefield |
|
Shall be our grave |
|
( |
|
Count Raymond III. of Tripoli) |
|
Our kingdom soon will fade |
|
They say no man ever made |
|
Such a distance in one day |
|
Saladin is drawing near |
|
Muslim warcries we can hear |
|
Christian knights must show no fear |
|
( |
|
Gerard of Ridefort, Grandmaster of the Knights Templar) |
|
Till our last breath we march |
|
The slaughter can begin |
|
For our kingdom and for our king |
|
Into battle our old hymns we sing |
|
By the hawks, our infantry's pride |
|
All for one and one for all! |
|
( |
|
Count Raymond III. of Tripoli) |
|
Our kingdom soon will fade |
|
They say no man ever made |
|
Such a distance in one day |
|
Saladin is drawing near |
|
Muslim warcries we can hear |
|
Christian knights must show no fear |
|
( |
|
Guy of Lusignan, King of Jerusalem) |
|
The time is near, it's crystal clear |
|
No-one give in, no man we fear |
|
Its time to fight, before the night |
|
Will lay its coat upon this field |
|
( |
|
Count Raymond III. of Tripoli) |
|
Marching - Marching till the end of time |
|
Can it be God's will? |
|
Will we be burning for a senseless crime |
|
Some wounds time won't heal |
|
Chorus |
|
Saladin was watching every move the Crusaders made and realized that their decision to start heading for |
|
Tiberias after an already exhausting march over several miles could give his army the crucial edge which |
|
Could determine the outcome of the battle. Vested with their firm belief the Muslim forces tightend the noose |
|
Around the Christians' necks. |
