Crusade - Voltaire (With Lyrics) video free download
Great song by a great musicion Voltaire
Long ago, I went to war
To fight the scourge
Of Christendom
I held aloft my blessed sword
And said,
By God,
Let them come.
They said their eyes
Are red as flame
I heard it told
From hell they came
Their breath is fire
Their tongues are forked
Thus are the beasts
Of Dragon's Gate.
I heard my father's words
Deep in my heart
Son, know your enemy
As I know my son.
The Fates were kind
They let me in
The dragon's lair
The den of sin
I placed my sword upon its heart and with a prayer
I thrust it in.
The dragon fell
Upon the ground
Twas then I heard
A whimpering sound
A dragonling
To his father clung
Who only fought
To protect his young
I heard my father's words
Deep in my heart.
Son know your enemy
As I know my son
And now my son
Is off to war
To fight the new scourge
Of Christendom
He holds aloft his brazen sword
And says
Dad,
Let them come
He swears their eyes
are red as flame
And heard it told
From hell they came
Their breath is fire
Their tongues are forked thus
Are the men of Muslim faith
Son, hear you father clear
deep in your heart
Son, know your enemy
As I would have them know
My son.

In order to understand your enemies your must first understand yourselves. Know your enemy. As I know my son. It is a message about learning to listen to our enemy that lays within all of us. Our worst enemies reside within ourselves. Don't blame others for having the same enemies as you yourself.10 years ago

That isn't quite true actually. This song is about the crusades (hence the name) and is from the point of view of a knight who went there believing in the things the church said about the muslims. He then finds out that they are not so different from himself. It then shifts to his son and the things he believes. So in a sense this song is about not believing everything you hear10 years ago

Shame really, it's one of the best games for the DS. I had hoped it would become more famous after the iOS port or Dream Drop Distance, but no such luck... I really wish Square Enix would rerelease it (a sequel would be nicer though), but I know that's unlikely.10 years ago

This sog points out the persecution of muslims in the crusades as wrong. It's like a speech on how LGBT people shouldn't be bullied, but not doing it because of too many LGBT people10 years ago

Continuing that train of thought; his father was trying to tell him to realize that his enemies are only human as he is. But the son never took it properly. The father was distant.10 years ago

Sad...the son was always misinterpreting his father's words, and the son was lost to brainwashing and bigotry, who didn't realize just what he was doing until he finally looked. He thought he was killing dragons...but he was killing men, and his father caused him to go down this path of life. Damn, Voltaire...10 years ago

I know, I don't see why they don't know much about it. It's such a great game. I can understand the upset feeling you have.10 years ago

This has nothing to do with your comment: It's obvious you are a fan of The World Ends With You, I know. But, It's so rare for me to see fans out in the open I just had to point out you're a fan.10 years ago

Then in of itself wouldn't be a problem, seeing as the lyrics aren't offensive at all. But it does like it would sound better if an older person sings it. ...Unless you're a father.Related Videos
