Crusades - Lewis Parker

I set off on my task

Mystic thoughts as I travel

Stars as my guide as these secrets unravel

Many were lost in the battle

Souls of fallen soldiers

Warriors with great weight on their shoulders

I climbed the snowy mountain at sunset

As these evil armies just catch my silhouette

These serpents moving with seductive shades

But I won’t fall I stand tight with my brays

Through the days and nights

And the nights and days

Walking like a ghost

Through these fake masquerades

The empire of darkness

Have taken rule on these lands

But I stand strong and manoeuvrer through the sand

They tried to trick me to drink the poison chalice

But in the horizon I see the palace

I see the splendour as these pretty girls dance

I keep my head down as I make my advance

Like crusades

Through the lands of deception

The house of the old republic

And hold our blessing

Crusades

Through these lands of deception

The ways of the old republic

And hold our blessing

As these suckers came through the door

They sprinkled petals on their floor

But I ain’t going out like a fool no more

I’m sick and tried of these fancy dress characters

Straight pretty boys trying to act like their gangsters

And these females are just snakes with their hypnotizing look

Trying to come between friends is no good

My good companion since Canterbury, Westgate

I see my reflection shimmer in the lost lake

Because these fake emcees out here we don’t need you

I used to write rhymes outside the cathedral

It came to me then

I saw the light

Doves in flight to a thousand breaks in the night

All the charades and play costumes is dead

When the clouds were red

Armies of darkness fled

The stepper of skies is now among you mortal beings

Peace to Dusty Vinyl

The God, the all seeing

Like crusades

These lands of deception

The house of the old republic

Holds our blessing

Crusades

Trough these lands of deception

The way of the old republic

Hold my blessing

As the

As I walk on gas

Illuminate the truth

The fake shit gets smashed

Worlds ahead

Angels watch where they tread

The Gods came through when the demons fled

The price was the freedom

But souls still bleeding

Some lost feeling until the started healing

The battles were on

We tried to restore

These good spirits got touched by the evil claw

The odds were against us

Many were brave

Some were slain

And some were enslaved

The future was bleak

The weak were crossing over

Plus there were traitors among us walking like brothers

The prophecy’s forgotten

Until the resurrection

The truth was protection

For spiritual blessing

The question still remains

Who holds the final rein?

Silence will come but on goes the flame

Like crusades

Through the lands of deception

The house of the old republic

Holds our blessing

Crusades

Through these lands of deception

The way of the old republic y’all

Hold my blessing y’all
