Onward Christian Soldiers

Aching floorboards spoke my name

In the belly of the beast to foreign shores

In tune with tides that whispered fame

And fortune for our humble LordEcclesiastical banners unfurl in the manner

Of those who seek conquest and gainSail forth for Outremer

The Promised Land prised from the hands of blasphemers amassing there

Awakened from the desert sands capesOnward Christian soldiers

Fated Nazareth and Bethlehem

Have fallen to an enemy bolder

It is said to widespread slaughter and rapeWe are all sinners, enslaved to the cross

God wills The Great War to erase

The Judaic acres, the Mohammedans

In defence of our revenant faithPolitical prowess takes to the stage

A pilgrimage led bu the sword

The sweet maiden blast of our clarion rage

Against the foul heretic hordes

Heretic hordesThe blazing invader Crusader parade

Vatican sanctioned and Mammon adoredNow, papal-led to die

The fatal battle cry

A natural army vies for stretching ChristendomWide, we slay the infidel

Remiss our way to Hell

Pay well the wishing well

With golden martyrdom

With golden martyrdom

With golden martyrdomScaling the towers with power ordained

Dark flowers of infamy budRansacking, hacking off Saracen reign

The temple drinks claret in floodsMercy forgotten in our ill-gotten gain

Of women and innocent bloodDeath abides in this domain of ashes

The streets are stained with the butchered foe

Now I hear the bells of triumph ringing

As they lay there rotting in their thousand shrouds

Beneath the clouds that skitter and scatter

Dispersions on the truth of heavenWe are all sinners, enslaved to the cross

God wills The Great War to erase

The Judaic acres, the Mohammedans

In defence of our revenant faithNo crescent moon

No prophet of doom

Shall wail above Jerusalem

Vast hypocrites

All grasping for glitz

Have taken The Mount and The TombHere in the kingdom of loss

Here in the kingdom of loss

Here in the kingdom of loss
