Inspired by the crusades; the music and lyrics hope to encapsulate the horrors and deeds witnessed and enacted by the peoples of the holy land and the Christian pilgrim’s.

Featuring the superb voice of Lydia Bateman

Lyrics:


Hammer and tongs, we shall we right these wrongs
Sickle and blade we shall be unmade
A nail and a tooth, we extract the truth
An eye for an eye makes the whole world blind

Don’t tell me when it’s my turn, that hell will freeze and heaven burn
Now time stands still the years fly by, my impending doom, I still deny

Rise in the East, we confront the beast
Sets in the west, we endure the test
The banner is raised, for the end of days
Blood on the sand, of the Holy Land

Blessed are those on the road to hell
Blood is washed clean, by the blood of the infidel
Your weapons are fire and steel, blinded by your faith and zeal
