[Raynald of Chatillon] Now the stars are shining On my way A sword of steel makes my day Saladin the Great One Bloody liar Burn, burn, burn in fire And we ride and we ride and we ride and we ride For the glory, the king and the pride Oh how we ride, my duty's calling me to seize the day In the night we're searching Lying in wait Don't run away it's too late Kill the Islam fever Stop this lie "Deus lo vult's" our battle cry And I know and I know and I know you will go Into the fire with your soul Hungry for gold, regain what's good and right for heavens sake On wings of thunder made of steel We could fly away to the sky someday SongtexteCalling the god of victory He will show us now in a dream somehow That the evil among us we'll meet on the field 'Cause the truce that we've made our fall it has sealed Why does no-one believe no-one open their eyes Why does everyone trust in their lies Now the knights are on my side again We ride for glory, fame and pride, the end Is near, we heed the call of duty "Fight for heaven" that's our fate Strike them down with your hate Till death appears in all it's beauty Like a screaming symphony What a sweet melody "When Raynald of Chatillon repeatedly plundered Muslim traders' caravans who relied on the uneasy truce of the early and mid 1180s, Saladin decided to assemble his army and venture a direct confrontation with the Crusaders in July 1187. The shameful defeat at the Battle of Montgisard (1177) in mind, Saladin's forces began their march, determined to crush their Christian opponents once and for all." Aus Songtexte Mania
