Abraxas Crusaders Prayer Lyrics

Crusaders Prayer Lyrics

[Music: Mindner, Klauke; Lyrics: Klauke]



[Verse 1:]

So many miles we walked away

so many times we had to pray

Every night we didn't sleep

every fight we didn't win

Every night we didn't laugh

in those dreadful times



[Bridge 1:]

Far far away out to the foreign land

so many miles from home

Fight kill and die here in the desert sands

oh Lord tell me why!



[Bridge 2:]

Silver and gold that's what we want

To get back the land that was the command

Honour and fame a crusaders aim

To win or to die that's a warriors fate!



[Refrain:]

Jerusalem aim of the pilgrim

Ancient city in the hallowed land

Jerusalem orient Lady full of mystic signs



Jerusalem aim of the pilgrim

Ancient city in the hallowed land

Jerusalem show me the mercy of your guardian hand!



[Bridge 3:]

Far far away out to the foreign land 

so many miles from home

Fight kill and die here in the desert sands

oh Lord tell me why!



[Bridge 4:]

Silver and gold that's what we want

To get back the land that was the command 

Honour and fame a crusaders aim

To win or to die that's a warriors fate!



[Refrain:]

Jerusalem aim of the pilgrim

Ancient city in the hallowed land

Jerusalem orient Lady full of mystic signs



Jerusalem aim of the pilgrim

Ancient city in the hallowed land

Jerusalem show me the mercy of your guardian hand!
