As Empires Fall

The Seljuks attack from under the Sun
They raided in far central Asia
The Byzantine empire crawl on it's knees
Call for holy war
The knights of the west united by Rome
Responded with rage and euphoria
The gathering masses enlist in a holy crusade

Far and away they're marching
Every hour of the day
Over land and cross the plains
In darkness we prevail

Hear my call in the distance roar
Like a temple bell over mountains high
Hear my call when the darkness falls
In the name of our lord and our king
For every sacred promise
And for every sacred soul
Hear my call in the distance roar
Like a temple bell
As empire's fall

Was signed by the cross and blessed by the church
They rode into death into Gloria
The fall of the empire rest in their hands
Call for holy war
The light of the west was tainted by blood
Reflected and spread mass hysteria
The slaughter of innocent back-fired led to the fall

Far and away they're marching
Every hour of the day
Over land and cross the plains
In darkness we prevail

Hear my call in the distance roar
Like a temple bell over mountains high
Hear my call when the darkness falls
In the name of our lord and our king
For every sacred promise
And for every sacred soul
Hear my call in the distance roar
Like a temple bell
As empire's fall

Bear the cross like an armour defending the weak
And the fate of all in this life until death
The darkness will fade away

Hear my call in the distance roar
Like a temple bell over mountains high
Hear my call when the darkness falls
In the name of our lord and our king
For every sacred promise
And for every sacred soul
Hear my call in the distance roar
Like a temple bell
As empire's fall
