This song is about Richard the Lionheart during the Third Crusade, particularly about his journey from Sicily to the Holy Land to fight against Saladin.
Rising high
Sailing with desire
Loss of war
Mark of the crusade
Here we stand
We will feed the fire
Wo, oh oh oh…
Stormy night of sorrow
How could I ever expect
I was with my brothers by my side
Suddenly I lost them
Are they gone? Will we then meet again?
No, I have no fear
There is a star in the sky
Shining and leading my way
Rising high
Sailing with desire
Loss of war
Mark of the crusade
Here we stand
We will feed the fire
Wo, oh oh oh…
I claim back what is mine
There’s my bride, please let her go
I warn you, Isaac, hear my sigh
If you fight against us
I swear, you won’t see the light again
Not even a beam
There is a star in the sky
Shining and leading my way
Rising high
Sailing with desire
Loss of war
Mark of the crusade
Here we stand
We will feed the fire
Wo, oh oh oh…
[Guitar Solo]
Set them free
They will need a leader
We will put him in silver chains
My crusaders, sons of England
Conquerers of the world
Rising high
Sailing with desire
Loss of war
Mark of the crusade
Here we stand
We will feed the fire
Wo, oh oh oh…
Rising high, fight the sky
