[Intro - Instrumental]
[Deep ominous taiko rolls with low morin khuur drone and guttural throat singing undertones, rising bloodlust tension]
[Verse 1]
From Rome's iron throne the war cry screams
Burn the infidel, shatter their dreams
Cross branded deep, no mercy shown
Knights of vengeance ride to claim the throne
[Pre-Chorus]
Can you feel the hatred rising?
Can you taste the blood?
[Chorus]
CHARGE! Through rivers of fire and bone!
SLAY! In the name of the one true throne!
We are the cross soaked red with their gore—
Crusaders forever at war!
THUNDER! Beneath the scorched, bleeding sky!
THUNDER! For God we slaughter or die!
No quarter given, no souls spared—
Jerusalem conquered, enemies ensnared!
[Verse 2]
Acre's walls crumble under siege and flame
Saladin's legions fall screaming His name
Steel through flesh, prayers drowned in screams
Holy wrath unleashed in unholy streams
[Verse 3]
Saracen blood paints the desert red
Templar blades reap the harvest of dead
No retreat from the divine command
Purge the land with an iron hand
[Chorus - Louder, more aggressive]
CHARGE! Through rivers of fire and bone!
SLAY! In the name of the one true throne!
We are the cross soaked red with their gore—
Crusaders forever at war!
THUNDER! Beneath the scorched, bleeding sky!
THUNDER! For God we slaughter or die!
No quarter given, no souls spared—
Jerusalem conquered, enemies ensnared!
[Bridge - Instrumental Climax]
[Apocalyptic synchronized taiko onslaught, savage Mongolian throat singing roars, wailing morin khuur, crushing brass, war choir chanting in Latin/Greek fury, total orchestral annihilation, then sudden brutal silence]
[Outro Chorus - Half-time, crushing, monumental]
CHARGE…
We are the cross… drenched in their blood…
THUNDER beneath the scorched, bleeding sky…
Jerusalem ours… forever.
[Outro - Instrumental]
[Final devastating odaiko strike with lingering throat singing growls and morin khuur fade into cold silence]
