Lyrics:

In 1187,
Jerusalem fell to the muslim leader,
So the kings of Europe, they took action,
The third crusade was underway.

Phillip of France and Babarossa of Germany,
Along with Richard the Lionheart,
The bombardment of the city,
The walls came tumbling down.

Chorus - It was the Massacre of the Saracens,
         The Holy City needed reclaiming,
         It was the Massacre of the Saracens,
         The Holy City crumbling down.

Two hundred thousand golden pieces,
And the lives of the prisoners,
The return of the Holy Cross,
The muslim prisoners held hostage.

CHORUS

Then the King of England, he saw,
The delays to meet the terms,
In the afternoon of August 20,
He came on horseback with the Frankish Army.

Knights, footmen and Turcoples,
Rode to the tents at the hill's foot,
The slaves were working, hard labour,
Their martyrdom, decreed for this day.

CHORUS

They numbered more than three thousand,
All of them, bound with ropes,
With lance and steel, they flung themselves,
A cold-blooded massacre,

The Musulmans, and the Frankish army,
Threw themselves at each other,
They fought until the morning light,
And blood was shed, that mournful night.
