Templar

Clad in armour, strong of will

Eye for an eye, kill for a kill

"Allah Ahkbar", "God wills it"

Cross and half moon in total war

"Allah Ahkbar", "God wills it"

No quarter given, life evened the score

"Allah Ahkbar", "God wills it"

Moving into the holy land

"Allah Ahkbar", "God wills it"

Empires clashing in desert sand

Jerusalem a city lit

Did God demand? Did God forbid?

Pilgrims slaughtered by Saracen band

Saracens slaughtered by Christian hand

Templar Van Ruddervoorde in command

Templars' grandmaster of the Flemish land

Battling Saladin, knight of the moon

At the siege of Acre meeting his doom

Outnumbered he fell, in a far away land

The templars' life took an end

Azure eyed and golden haired

Forth the knights templar fared

While above troops devoted

Heraldic banners floated
