God Wills It
Deus lo vult Deus lo vult The cry throughout the land The council at Claremont Brought the sword to hand Salvations sweet promise Oh-oh In numbers unreckoned Came commoner and thief With women and children Desiring Christ's relief A hope for the hopeless Oh-oh Ten times ten thousand The followed Peter south Betrayed by Alexius Across the rivers mouth The bodies lie broken Oh-oh And Volkmar with Emricho Waged war against the Jews "Why fight them abroad" They pillaged the Danube A demon unleashed Letras de cancionesOh-oh This fire rages no longer but could burn yet ten times stronger We are grist for the mill Whoa-oh oh-oh Like a snake coiled around us Islam's truth still confounds us This faith of 'peace' Whoa-oh no-oh Still the Templars came onward Along the middle sea In Antioch was found The Spear of Destiny A tale yet to be told Oh-oh Then with hunger and hatred Deep within their hearts They boiled women; ate children An image so stark Would Jesus have partook? Oh-oh Is this fire something we know who was it struck the first blow The Moors push into Spain, or Eastern Rome's domain Many 'truths' there to blind us Many oaths there to bind us Who can claim the right today?
