lyrics

JERUSALEM
(Stalowsky, Leščanec)

One hundred thousand voices screaming in pain.
The ancient battle is raging again.
Why am I here? I don’t wanna die.
Desert sand is my only friend.

In sweat I wake up, this was just a dream.
Have I been dreaming, the Battle of Jerusalem?

The secrets of the sand, the Battle of Jerusalem.
The secrets of the Damned live on.

Crusaders marching on for glory and fame.
Protecting the holy land from muslim name.
The sign of the cross burning in the sky.
Star and crescent raising from the sand.

Are we just fighting for the same God or no God at all?
Is there a heaven for me, waiting for eternity?

The secrets of the sand, the Battle of Jerusalem.
The secrets of the Damned live on.

The charge begins, we are eager to win.
Oooh with swords in our hands.
Cutting and killing, smashing and crippling.
Oooh there’s blood on our hands.

I look around, what do I see?
Lifeless bodies begging me:
stop this bloody insanity.
As I hold a dying man's hand,
ice-cold steel rips through my heart.
Deadly wounded, out of breath.
Lying on the ground,
my throat is dry, my soul will fly.
Gazing at the sky, peace of mind.

As I die, I see the other side.
There is no God demanding killing in his name.
Enemies, we are brothers now.
Forever free of a mad man’s stupidity.

One thousand years
have passed since we started the war.
But the flame of hate is burning brighter than before.
What have we learned, is there hope for us?
Which God should we trust, Allah or Angel dust?
In sweat I wake up, this is not a dream.
I am witnessing the Battle of Jerusalem.

The secrets of the sand, the Battle of Jerusalem.
The secrets of the sand, the Battle of Jerusalem…
