Vanishing Glory - Crystallion

Christian greed brings them death

My caravan’s lost, I see

A rush of blood to my head — it’s deafening me

Can’t let them go, it’s my duty, they died for me

It’s Raynald’s will, I don’t know is this meant to be

There is no way out for me — it’s killing me

My army shall rise, Christian downfall we’ll see

They have reigned the Holy Land

Jerusalem in Christian hand

Shameful fields of Montgisard

Will the Sultan rise again

There’s no doubt we will regain

Our old glory, we shall rise

After all — hear me scream, hear me scream

Battles taking their toll, open the gates

Now the war is at hand, we will regain our land

Our people and our Muslim faith we’ll defend — To battle we ride

It’s their final crusade

Our feud will be brought to an end here and now

20 000 Eastern men

Will bring back Jerusalem

No Knights Templar will remain

Under Saladin the Great

Muslim states retaliate

Guy of Lusignan will fall

One more time — hear me scream, hear me scream

Battles taking their toll, open the gates

Now the war is at hand, we will regain our land

Our people and our Muslim faith we’ll defend — To battle we ride

It’s their final crusade

Our feud will be brought to an end here and now

It’s our destiny to fight

Christian hordes won’t see the night

In the end, will we be right?

It’s not us who want this war

One more battle, then no more

We will rule just like before

After all — hear me scream, hear me scream

Battles taking their toll, open the gates

Now the war is at hand, we will regain our land

Our people and our Muslim faith we’ll defend — To battle we ride

It’s their final crusade

Our feud will be brought to an end here and now

«To lure King Guy into moving his army out of the town of Sephoria,

an oasis with indispensable water supplies, Saladin besieged Count Raymond’s

fortress of Tiberias on July 2nd

The town was plundered and burned, while Raymond’s wife remained besieged in

the citadel.
