The Battle - Higher Than The Sky - Crystallion

Onward the Christians go It’s hard to believe that they did what I hoped for

They can’t win this fight

It’s Saracen sunrise, the Crusaders' sundown

They won’t stand a chance

Attacked by brave men

Now their fate it is sealed

We will crush them they’re damned for all time

At home they will tell them 'bout Saladin, all his glory and pride

(The Muslim army)

Hattin brings down the Crusaders

Muslims triumphant we will vanquish our foe

Charge after charge we will counter

Saladin’s army in new glory shall rise

Forever we’ll be — higher than the sky

(Sultan Saladin)

Cut off from water and blinded by fire

These noble knights, they defect out of fear

Telling their secrets, their dire situation

Facing his downfall, their king’s gonna crawl

(The Muslim army)

Now we are the ones who will rule again

Saladin stands above all

We cannot forgive the Christian invaders

Who struggle to take our land

(The Muslim army)

Hattin brings down the crusaders

Muslims triumphant we will vanquish our foe

Charge after charge we will counter

Saladin’s army in new glory shall rise

Forever we’ll be

(The Muslim army)

Now we are the ones who will rule again

Saladin stands above all

We cannot forgive the Christian invaders

Who struggle to take our land

(The Muslim army)

Hattin brings down the Crusaders

Muslims triumphant we will vanquish our foe

Charge after charge we will counter

Saladin’s army in new glory shall rise

Forever we’ll be

(Sultan Saladin)

Rightful rulers of these lands

We’ve spilled too much blood

Our reign will be one based on faith in our God

Christian forces surrender, their final retreat

Is just hours ahead, they must face their defeat

Most of them slain, reinforcements they need

So their king must be wise and give in

«Guy's decision to take Saladin’s bait and start heading for Tiberias proved to be a fatal mistake.

Saladin,

Who had expected that move, sent troops around the Crusader army,

blocking their line of retreat and

Separating them from their water supplies.

Despite their fierce resistance the

Crusaders finally had to face

Defeat.

While most of the Christian army met with death on July 4th on the

fields of Hattin, some were

Captured and some could even flee to herald the news of the Saracen rising… »
