The Queen of All Cities

The Kingdom! The savior will save us
 The Kingdom! The savior will be our guiding light
 For weeks now, it seems like we've traveled through limbo
 And at last we see her shine, Constantinople!
 Sinners and the saintly will kneel!
 Sinners and the saintly will halt for Alexios
 The saints reign from heaven
 The saints!
 Swear him oaths of fealty and he'll open up the way
 Cresting, the waves of crusaders
 Spilling down from off the hill
 Resting, the Queen of all Cities
 Swear Alexios your word and then be on your way
 Expanses we traversed, starvation
 The desert, the hunger — it drove us to our breaking point
 The horses were cut and, little by little,
 the poor things were drained until
 one day they collapsed to the ground
 Sinners and the saintly will march!
 Sinners and the saintly will go marching to their fate
 The saints reign from heaven
 The saints!
 Spirit and the body unite when pushed to the edge
 Left behind Constantinople
 We swore to return what was theirs
 Blessed be the Queen of all Cities
 For all the lands and people lost, lost to Seljuk Turks
 Far off in the distance, I see Nicaea
 Far off in the distance, perhaps we'll find relief
 Fortress in shrouds
 Shimmers on the lake
 Head in the clouds
 Coming down the hill
 Long did I seek for a path to salvation
 Never could I wash off the scales from my poor eyes
 Long did I struggle to free myself from my chains
 Never could I break off the bindings of my guilt and shame
 Sinners and the saintly will fall
 Sinners and the saintly are equals in the great abyss
 The saints reign from heaven
 The saints!
 When I take my last breath, I hope I can laugh and smile
 But how can I live with this burden?
 How can I ease my heart before I die?
 Grace to the ones we have plundered
 I will never sleep the same
 Grant me healing rain
 Rain now
 I will never be alone
 Weeping, trembling at the throne Golden eyes stare back at me
