The crescent rises Druze forces unite Seizing the springs of Turan The Sephorians' plight
Noosing the humble Eschiva The queen of Galilee The Christian armies defeated Feud and flee
At the sound of clapping thunder Beguiled by the art of war Crusaders torn asunder How they fall
One by one they fall! How they fall!
The scimitars gleam in the shadow of the horns Hell at Tiberias an empire forlorn
(Rogate quae ad pacem sunt Jerusalem)
Their screams resounded across the Christian lands A third crusade mounted to redeem Hattin's sands
(Gloria Patri et Filio et Spiritui Sancto, sicut erat in principio et nunc et semper)
Encircled by smoke fires Pelted by a deluge of misery The Edessan battle lines trampled by fearless cavalry
Assailing the true cross Rebuking the one belief The prince of Rome capitulates Stricken with grief
A truce betrayed by the king of Ibelin The wrath of the grand vizier set loose on all his kin The seers had seen the burning of Acre of Sidon Faith and honour subsiding at the dawn of eschaton
Eschaton! At the dawn of eschaton!
The scimitars gleam in the shadow of the horns Hell at Tiberias an empire forlorn
(Da pacem, Domine, in diebus nostris quia non est alius)
Their screams resounded across the Christian lands A third crusade mounted to redeem Hattin's sands
(Da pacem, Domine, in diebus nostris qui pugnet pro nobis nisi tu deus noster)
