🎤 Lyrics:
Verse 1 (English):
The dawn breaks o’er the desert land,
With sword in hand, we take our stand.
The king rides forth with valor bright,
With leper’s hand, he leads the fight.
Our foes are strong, their banners fly,
Yet to the Lord, we raise our cry.
Against the tide, we march as one,
Our fate entwined beneath the sun.
Chorus (Latin):
"Lux Crucis dux noster est,
Deus nos defendat in hostium pest.
In nomine tuo pugnam gerimus,
Veni, Domine, et nos tu protegis."
(Translation: "The Light of the Cross is our guide,
God defends us against the enemy's plague.
In your name, we wage this battle,
Come, Lord, and protect us.")
Verse 2 (English):
The sands are stained with blood and tears,
Yet in our hearts, we feel no fear.
For on this day, our cross shall shine,
A symbol strong, of power divine.
Baldwin rides, though weak in form,
He leads us through the battle’s storm.
Our swords strike true, our faith is steel,
In every blow, our souls we seal.
Chorus (Latin):
"Lux Crucis dux noster est,
Deus nos defendat in hostium pest.
In nomine tuo pugnam gerimus,
Veni, Domine, et nos tu protegis."
Bridge (English & Latin):
Saladin’s force like shadows fall,
Yet still we stand, though few and small.
"Non timeamus," ("We shall not fear,")
"For God is here, His light is clear."
The Templars march, their banners high,
"Ad gloriam!" ("To glory!") is their cry.
For though the odds may crush our line,
We fight with strength from the divine.
Chorus (Latin):
"Lux Crucis dux noster est,
Deus nos defendat in hostium pest.
In nomine tuo pugnam gerimus,
Veni, Domine, et nos tu protegis."
Verse 3 (English):
The battle won, the day is ours,
By faith alone, we broke their powers.
The leper king, with Templar's might,
Delivered us from endless night.
We raise our voice to heaven’s gate,
For in this war, we sealed our fate.
Templar hearts, both bold and true,
Forever bound in what we do.
Final Chorus (Latin & English):
"Lux Crucis dux noster est,
God guides us in the righteous quest.
In nomine tuo pugnam gerimus,
Through faith alone, we stand, victorious."
(Translation: "The Light of the Cross is our guide,
In your name, we wage this battle,
Through faith alone, we stand, victorious.")
Outro (Latin):
"Deus vult,
Ad finem, nos custodit."
(Translation: "God wills it,
Until the end, He guards us.")
