The Battle - Onward - Crystallion

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!

We will prevail (onward we go!!!)

Our glorious king we hail

Onward!

The battlefield

Shall be our grave

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

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!

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

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

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

«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.»
