War A chance to save your soul To see the holy land Escape your debts and pain Go on crusade Take the cross Don your armor March to war For your God Steel your heart Warrior pilgrim Fight and die For holy land Take the cross Fight for land you've never seen Only heard of Soak the ground With the blood of fellow man For Jerusalem Suffer like your God To make up for your sins Forsake temporal life Go on crusade Take the cross Don your armor March to war For your God Steel your heart Warrior pilgrim Fight and die For holy land Take the cross Fight for land you've never seen Only heard of Soak the ground With the blood of fellow man For Jerusalem Take the cross Fight for land you've never seen Only heard of Soak the ground With the blood of fellow man For Jerusalem
2.	Antioch, Pt. 1 (The Siege) 03:35	lyrics	buy track
Another day of fighting Another small defeat Another night of wondering How much more I can take Days turn into weeks No victory These walls won't break down Won't break down Strong walls and weary soldiers Eight months of misery What glory can be found in Starvation and disease Strong walls and weary soldiers Eight months no victory No glory to be found in Grinding men to their knees What is the point of fighting? Dying for Antioch? How many men have fallen? How many will it take? Weeks turn into months No victory These walls won't break down Won't break down One more failed attempt One more pile of dead One more failed attempt One more pile of dead One more failed attempt One more pile of dead Strong walls and weary soldiers Eight months of misery What glory can be found in Starvation and disease Strong walls and weary soldiers Eight months no victory No glory to be found in Grinding men to their knees
3.	Antioch, Pt. 2 (The Battle) 03:29	lyrics	buy track
Months We've fought for these walls How many men have fallen? Bled and died for Antioch? Now The wolf is at the gates To snatch this prey away from us But we've been starving far too long Besieger Now besieged No relief No retreat Risk of battle Sweet release No more waiting Give them war Time has come to end this plight No more waiting We will fight Faith and justice on our side No surrender Win or die Out Of the shadows of these walls Through the storm of arrows ride Once more we'll fight For Antioch Saints and the holy lance with us With God on our side We do not doubt Our victory Besieger Now besieged No relief No retreat Risk of battle Sweet release No more waiting Give them war Time has come to end this plight No more waiting We will fight Faith and justice on our side No surrender Win or die
