They ride tonight
Putrid, immoral, holy knights
slaughtering the weak
yet of god and mercy, they speak
Sought are the holy lands
where war is waged without end
Eating up the churches lies
And ending all the heathen lives
Slay! in King Richard's name
Crusade! And rise to fame
Kill! But feel no shame
War! God Is To Blame
Holy Indulgences
wash away all your sins
Given to you
Who shares their hateful views
They're Rewarded
For acts most heinous and horrid
They're morally castrated
and filled with misplaced hatred
Slay! in King Richard's name
Crusade! And rise to fame
Kill! But feel no shame
War! God Is To Blame
innocent towns
in violence and blood, they are drowned
Fuck the church
and their reputation now smirched
nothing gained
through violence and unbelievers slain
The church defamed
for causing suffering, and pain
Slay! in King Richard's name
Crusade! And rise to fame
Kill! But feel no shame
War! God is to blame!
War! God is to blame!
War! God is to blame!
