[Verse 1]
G#m
Ride, defend the Kingdom of God
E D#m
Alive in the conquest of Normans
G#m F#m F#
Crossed the land to Byzantine shores
E D#
We storm Constantinople's walls
G#m
Gone ahead, the army went on
E D#m
Arrived at the river of Jordan
G#m F#
Brave the dead, Jerusalem's sons
E D#m
And one by one the pilgrims fall
F#
And by the city of Sidon
A
Their bodies lying to rot (to rot)
C#m
And underneath blood and iron
Cm G#m G#
Lies the promise and honour of God
[Chorus]
C#m E B C#m
Say, will you stand up for Christ and combat?
A E A G#m
Will you fight like a rebel, a rebel in black?
C#m E B C#m
Say, will you stand up for Christ and combat?
A B G#
Will you sanctify the dark?

Kill and pray, crusaders at heart
E D#
In 1097 we started
D#m Bm F#m
Lost the way and spread all apart
E D#m
The Holy Roman Empire
G#m
The remaining knights prepared for attack
E D#m
To honour the Prophet departed
G#m B F#
On they fought, with no turning back
E D#
The kingdom rides forever more
F#
And by the city of Sidon
A
Their bodies lying to rot (to rot)

And underneath blood and iron
Cm G#m
Lies the promise and honour of God

Gone to sanctify the dark
