God Wills It

Deus lo vult Deus lo vult

The cry throughout the land

The council at Claremont

Brought the sword to hand

Salvations sweet promise

Oh-oh

In numbers unreckoned

Came commoner and thief

With women and children

Desiring Christ's relief

A hope for the hopeless

Oh-oh

Ten times ten thousand

The followed Peter south

Betrayed by Alexius

Across the rivers mouth

The bodies lie broken

Oh-oh

And Volkmar with Emricho

Waged war against the Jews

"Why fight them abroad"

They pillaged the Danube

A demon unleashed

Oh-oh

This fire rages no longer but could burn yet ten times

stronger

We are grist for the mill

Whoa-oh oh-oh

Like a snake coiled around us

Islam's truth still confounds us

This faith of 'peace'

Whoa-oh no-oh

Still the Templars came onward

Along the middle sea

In Antioch was found

The Spear of Destiny

A tale yet to be told

Oh-oh

Then with hunger and hatred

Deep within their hearts

They boiled women; ate children

An image so stark

Would Jesus have partook?

Oh-oh

Is this fire something we know who was it struck the

first blow

The Moors push into Spain, or Eastern Rome's domain

Many 'truths' there to blind us

Many oaths there to bind us

Who can claim the right today?

No one

No

On the seventh of May

They reached Jerusalem's walls

After two months fighting

The holy city falls

"The slaughter was so great

Men walked in blood"

Like a scene from a nightmare

A cariminium flood!!!

In those red days that followed

Godfrey was Advocatus Sancti

For he would not rule

In the place where Christ was slain

The vow was fulfilled

Oh-oh

In Ascalon did Godfrey

Stop the Fatamid horde

At his death Baldwin

Became the holy cities lord

God's will it was done

Oh-oh

Expelled in Saladin's times

Another war and untold crimes

That place will never know peace

The butchery will never cease
