[intro short instrumental, hurdy gurdy, drum] [Verse 1 solo 70 BMP] Amid crowds on Clermont fields / Pope proclaimed the great Crusade Brothers, cease your feuds and strife / march to free the Holy Land Spill no Christian brother’s blood / it draws down the Holy Wrath Turn your swords to eastern roads / walk the narrow pilgrim path Slay the pagan, 'tis no shame / greater glory to our Lord Take the Cross and march afar / your souls shall be redeemed by God [Chorus, slow,choir, sacral, solemn, with long sustained notes 50BPM] Deus vuuuuult! God wills it !— Jerusalem shall be freed, Deus vuuuuult! God wills it !— our souls shall be redeemed Holy Land awaits salvation, Holy Crusade makes preparation. Deus Vuuult! Alleluia! [instrumental break ] [Verse 2 solo 70 BMP] Forth there went a faithful throng / from each town and lands far wide A great many took the Cross / Knights and monks walked side by side Younger sons and landless lords / under counts' and princes' signs Ragged poor and sinful crowd / trailed in dust behind their line Some sought only saving grace / and a place in heav’nly light Others hungered after gold / and the pleasures of this world [Chorus, slow, choir, sacral, solemn,with long sustained notes, 50BPM] Deus vuuuuult! God wills it !— Jerusalem shall be freed, Deus vuuuuult! God wills it !— our souls shall be redeemed! All who gathered took the Cross, Now the Crusade marches forth. Deus Vuuult! Alleluia! [ instrumental break ] [Verse 3 solo 70 BMP] Forth the Crusade then marched on / to reclaim the Holy Tomb On the long and weary road / rose an ever-growing tide Through Byzantium they passed / breached Edessa and Antiok Every host that sultan raised / fell before the tide of faith Like a sacred swelling flood / through Syria’s burning sands Till they reached Jerusalem / ringed her walls with tight-drawn camps [Chorus, slow, choir, sacral, solemn, with long sustained notes 50BPM] Deus vuuuuult! God wills it !— Jerusalem shall be freed, Deus vuuuuult! God wills it !— our souls shall be redeemed! Through all lands their banners rolled, Till they circled city’s hold. Deus Vuuult ! Alleluia! [ instrumental break ] [Verse 4 solo 70 BMP] At the last the armies stormed / shattered gates and blazing streets “Who is Christian, who is Jew / who Saracen in this heat?” Whom to spare and whom to slay / by the sword’s unending rage Lords and priests gave forth their cry / ‘Slay them all — then God shall judge!’ Hundred thousand innocent / perished in the blood and flame And the Crusaders stood in gore / praising God with loud acclaim [Chorus, slow,choir, sacral, solemn, joyfull ,with long sustained notes 50BPM] Deus vuuult! God wills it !— Jerusalem now stands freed! Deus vuuult! God wills it !— our souls now stand redeemed! Cities burned in holy flame, GLORY! GLORY ! to Lord’s name! Deus Vuuult! Alleluia! [instrumental break ] [Outro solo 50 BMP, sad ] By the sin of Crusaders / who in God’s name wrought slaughter Holy Land lies under curse / drowned in hatred, blood and war
