[Verse 1]
G#m
Ride, defend the Kingdom of God
 E                       D#m
Alive in the conquest of Normans
G#m                 F#m       F#
Crossed the land to Byzantine shores
   E              D#
We storm Constantinople's walls
G#m
Gone ahead, the army went on
  E                     D#m
Arrived at the river of Jordan
G#m               F#
Brave the dead, Jerusalem's sons
    E              D#m
And one by one the pilgrims fall

F#
And by the city of Sidon
A
Their bodies lying to rot (to rot)
C#m
And underneath blood and iron
         Cm                    G#m   G#
Lies the promise and honour of God


[Chorus]
C#m           E            B             C#m
Say, will you stand up for Christ and combat?
         A            E        A        G#m
Will you fight like a rebel, a rebel in black?
C#m           E            B             C#m
Say, will you stand up for Christ and combat?
         A     B      G#
Will you sanctify the dark?

[Verse 2]
G#
Kill and pray, crusaders at heart
   E       D#
In 1097 we started
D#m      Bm      F#m
Lost the way and spread all apart
    E          D#m
The Holy Roman Empire
    G#m
The remaining knights prepared for attack
   E                    D#m
To honour the Prophet departed
G#m     B            F#
On they fought, with no turning back
    E                D#
The kingdom rides forever more

F#
And by the city of Sidon
A
Their bodies lying to rot (to rot)
C#m
And underneath blood and iron
         Cm                    G#m
Lies the promise and honour of God

[Chorus]
C#m            E                     C#m
Go straight to heaven for Christ and combat
          A            E            A         G#m
Give your life for the Sanctum that you never had
C#m               E          B             C#m
    Take place in heaven for Christ and combat
        A     B      G#
Gone to sanctify the dark

Say, will you stand up for Christ and combat?
