Crusader, crusader, please take me with you
The battle lies far to the east
Crusader, crusader, don't leave me alone
I want to ride out on your quest
I'm waiting, I'm waiting to stand by your side
To fight with you over the sea
They're calling, they're calling, I have to be there
The holy land has to be free

Fight the good fight, believe what is right
Crusader, Lord of the realm
Fight the good fight with all your might
Crusader, Lord of the realm

We're marching, we're marching to a land far from home
No one can say who'll return
For Christendom's sake, we'll take our revenge
On the pagan from out of the east
We Christians are coming with swords held on high
United by faith and the cause
The Saracen heathen will soon taste our steel
Our standards will rise 'cross the land

Fight the good fight, believe what is right
Crusader, Lord of the realm
Fight the good fight with all your might
Crusader, Lord of the realm

To battle, to battle the Saracen hordes
We follow the warrior king
Onward, ride onward into the fight
We carry the sign of the cross
Warlords of England, knights of the realm
Spilling their blood in the sand
Crusader, crusader, the legend is born
The future will honor your deeds

Fight the good fight, believe what is right
Crusader, Lord of the realm
Fight the good fight with all your might
Crusader, Lord of the realm

Guds fortapelse/Apenbaring av Dommedag

Hengitt er vi
Til Mørkets keiser
Den allmektiges kraft
(Som) Fører vårt sinn
I kamp
Mot godhet og løgn

Dog fiendens hær er fattig
Er den stor
Men vi skal ta dem alle
Og hente dem inn
En etter en

Det håp de ser i gud
Skal forsvinne i et hav av torner
De torner deres falske frelser
Engang følte spikret i sin skalle

Himmelen skal rakne
Og en fandens torden
Skal buldre å brake
Hans krefter vil røyne
Der Mørkets front
Beseirer lystes pest

Øyne vil renne i sorg
Når de innser (at) deres gud
Ikke lenger kan hjelpe
Det håp de så i gud
Er svunnet og vekk for alltid

De følger nå sin falske felser
Som fortsatt er bærer av en krone
Med torner
Men konge ble han ikke

[English translation:]

[God's Damnation-revelation Of The Judgment Day]

Devoted are we
To the emperor of the dark
The power of the almighty
(Which)leads our minds
Into battle
Against the good and their lies

Though the enemy's army is poor
It is big
But we shall take them all
Gather them up
One by one

The hope they saw in God
Shall disappear in an ocean of thorns
The thorns their fake messiah
Once felt nailed to his skull

Heaven shall be torn
And a fucking thunder
Shall boulder and roar
His powers will go weak
Where the front of dark
Conquer the plague of light

Eyes will run in sorrow
When they realize (that) their god
No longer can help
The hope they found in God
Is gone and so it shall be forever

Now they follow their fake salvator
Who still carries a crown of thorns
But king he never became​

 

Play it loud (tomorrow the plow becomes the sword make us stronger in our danger )

I am not an advocate of war, by the way.....You see what goes on between people.....so it is too bad many innocents have to be killed when it gets bigger and larger than just 2 individuals hating each other or whatever....or greed...or power orfor whatever is really gong on....

And since we've also moved into Civial War tunes...

From Wikipedia....
""The Battle Hymn of the Republic", also known as "Mine Eyes Have Seen the Glory" outside of the United States, is a song by American writer Julia Ward Howe using the music from the song "John Brown's Body". Howe's more famous lyrics were written in November 1861 and first published in The Atlantic Monthly in February 1862. The song links the judgment of the wicked at the end of time (New Testament, Rev. 19) with the American Civil War"

Pink Floyd

Us and Them
And after all we're only ordinary men
Me, and you
God only knows it's not what we would choose to do
Forward he cried from the rear
and the front rank died
And the General sat, as the lines on the map
moved from side to side
Black and Blue
And who knows which is which and who is who
Up and Down
And in the end it's only round and round and round
Haven't you heard it's a battle of words
the poster bearer cried
Listen son, said the man with the gun
There's room for you inside
Down and Out
It can't be helped but there's a lot of it about
With, without
And who'll deny that's what the fightings all about
Get out of the way, it's a busy day
And I've got things on my mind
For want of the price of tea and a slice
The old man died

And they’ll all feel gay when Johnny comes marching home



Hotwater

 

Yeah, right, hotwater. I put that song here as my mom used to sing all of these marching songs when I was a kid to me....so that is why I thought of it....and did not realize a word was in there that said we'll all feel gay, until I put it here....but I think it was written ina time when gay meant simply joy and happiness. I sure as hell don't care if people are gay or not...never was a problem for me, anyone's sexual orientation.....so.....in today's world, the song would be politically incorrect...oops....sorry....I did not write the song..
