[Verse 1]
Darkness in my soul
Left inside of me
Thunder and lightning is
Everything I see
Try to forget all this cruel and pain
Forgiveness is all that I gain
[Pre-Chorus]
Open your eyes, you will see
Jerusalem unites us against Saladin
[Chorus]
Like a lion we fight
Together we will die
For the glory of our god
Justice on our side
This cross will lead the light
Follow Richard Lionheart
[Verse 2]
Salvation is my hope
At the holy grave
Through incense and candles
I’m praying on my knees
God will forgive me for all that I’ve done
To triumph the devil’s dark throne
[Pre-Chorus]
Open your eyes, you will see
Jerusalem unites us against Saladin
[Chorus]
Like a lion we fight
Together we will die
For the glory of our god
Justice on our side
This cross will lead the light
Follow Richard Lionheart
[Guitar Solo]
[Pre-Chorus]
Open your eyes, you will see
Jerusalem unites us against Saladin
[Chorus]
Like a lion we fight
Together we will die
For the glory of our god
Justice on our side
This cross will lead the light
Follow Richard Lionheart
[Chorus]
Like a lion we fight
Together we will die
For the glory of our god
Justice on our side
This cross will lead the light
Follow Richard Lionheart
