It Falls to Jerusalem

On a silent, starless night Bohemond feigned retreat
 On a silent, starless night Antioch bled from every pore
 Helpless I watch, useless on this perch
 My wounds have healed, but still I cannot fight
 All that it took was one man's betrayal
 Open the gates, behold the wrath of God
 Blessed are you, you who go to war
 Blessed are you, you who fight for God
 The winds are howling, crying out for change
 The southern winds are baying, crying out for love
 Such carnage, revolting
 It's hard to stomach all the gore
 Mangled, contorted
 It's tragic, but alas!
 They had a chance to surrender, and this is the way it's always been
 For hundreds of years we were the targeted
 Kafir, fighting to hold onto each parcel of land
 The heart of the Jihad,
 pumping blood and destruction into the veins of Western nations
 Bohemond, clever and sly, arranged to steal away command of Antioch
 You'd break the oath you swore to return what was theirs?
 I call you coward, to cheat Alexios!
 Purged of my guilt and yet I feel no peace of mind
 We share the same blood as the beasts
 I feel it throb in every wound that I took on — balance me!
 Jerusalem is where it falls to cut out the rot from humankind
 Jerusalem is where it falls for us to
 choose to end the weakness in our hearts
 Under my leadership we took Jerusalem
 They offered me it's gold, coveted crown
 How could I wear a crown of gold in the same
 city where Christ did wear a crown of thorns?
 Lead as the King of Kings, and serve your fellow man lovingly
 Jerusalem is where it falls to cut out the rot from humankind
 Jerusalem is where it falls for us to
 choose between forgiveness and defeat
