In the light of the dessert Sun We're defenders of the nine crusades In the year 1096 a time of war began Was fooled by priest with cross in hand We marched to foreign land Fight the common enemy A ghost inside my head A story told for me to see To justify the crime Ancient scrolls from so long ago They will bind us to this kingdom Righteous ruler for all to see You're the one to enlighten me We're the ones to fight And set them free We're the storm we're the chosen ones We're the heaven sent from the dawn of time Marching with cross covered banners High over Anatolia We're under attack form a line of defence When the archers prepare to engage We're pushing them back and we're starting to pound On the dunes of holy ground In the light of the dessert Sun We're defenders of the nine crusades By the year 1291 the war had come to end So many bled these fields of sand We March for crown and land Leave this place for all to see A sign for all to say A time of pain and misery Had washed my sins away Ancient scrolls from so long ago They will bind us to this kingdom Righteous ruler for all to see You're the one to enlighten me We're the ones to fight And set them free We're the storm we're the chosen ones We're the heaven sent from the dawn of time Marching with cross covered banners High over Anatolia We're under attack form a line of defence When the archers prepare to engage We're pushing them back and we're starting to pound On the dunes of holy ground In the light of the dessert Sun We're defenders of the nine crusades In the sand to the east We're the ones who heed the call For a land and a priest He will sacrifice them all Lost in a fury of flames So long ago We're the storm we're the chosen ones We're the heaven sent from the dawn of time Marching with cross covered banners High over Anatolia We're under attack form a line of defence When the archers prepare to engage We're pushing them back and we're starting to pound On the dunes of holy ground In the light of the dessert Sun We're defenders of the nine crusades
