Upon strong and fast horses  thousands have ridden beyond our borders.  Our standards has been brought  across the whole continent    Hearts of stone  and minds of steel.  Defiel all foes  and crushed their bones.  Gathered under the respected flag  with minds set on conquering.  Hearts of stone  and minds of steel.  Defied all foes  and crushed their bones.  Bonded by their nation  they pledged allegiance to the king's crown.    I'm pulled into the endless theories  in the chronicles of crusades.  Lost in a time of blood and steel  as I'm enchanted by the things they tell.    Most of the soldiers who rode into war  courageously fell for the enemy's sword.  The few who finally returned  carried the light burden of gold.
