Lyrics:

In 1187,

Jerusalem fell to the muslim

..leader,

So the kings of Europe, they took

..action,

The third crusade was underway.

Phillip of France and Babarossa of

..Germany,

Along with Richard the Lionheart,

The bombardment of the city,

The walls came tumbling down.

Chorus - It was the Massacre of

..the Saracens,

         The Holy City needed

..reclaiming,

         It was the Massacre of

..the Saracens,

         The Holy City crumbling

..down.

Two hundred thousand golden

..pieces,

And the lives of the prisoners,

The return of the Holy Cross,

The muslim prisoners held hostage.

Then the King of England, he saw,

The delays to meet the terms,

In the afternoon of August 20,

He came on horseback with the

..Frankish Army.

Knights, footmen and Turcoples,

Rode to the tents at the hill's

..foot,

The slaves were working, hard

..labour,

Their martyrdom, decreed for this

..day.

They numbered more than three

..thousand,

All of them, bound with ropes,

With lance and steel, they flung

..themselves,

A cold-blooded massacre,

The Musulmans, and the Frankish

..army,

Threw themselves at each other,

They fought until the morning

..light,

And blood was shed, that mournful

..night.
