Track from second full-length “Regnum Dei“ (2010) Eastside Records, Children of Judas (The Children's Crusades of 1212 and 1230) Ecce ego mitto vos sicut oves in medio luporum. Estote ergo prudentes sicut serpentes, et simplices sicut columbae. Join in the procession of our wretched souls Follow in our footsteps full of tainted faith We through our eyes The crusade into pitch black nothingness Innocence was our banner Faith was our shield Too youn to be brave, too pure to be depraved Or so it must have seemed In the shade of the Cross we marched Never to be seen again Sanctimonius, not sanctified collection of souls Conscience unformed, perspective deformed In the cloud of censers' stench we welcomed purity We were anointed God's children, toys of caprice We waded throught dirty slush of human dignity On our way to recover the Holy Sepulchre Miniatrue crusaders, in fact just hollow wraiths Laughter of shame Sold for the thirty pieces of silver Judas' children Call us fanatic, call us overzealous We spoke the words of the One True Faith Juvenile priests preaching words of treachery Warped salvation On our way to glory we relished our destiny And died of hunger and misery Crusaders of forsaken names Sold to slavery never to see the future We might as well have never existed Just as Judas might have been our loving father Mother-Purity gave birth to our kind But she was a whore Look for blood on holy hands Smell out the flesh served to ravenous clergy That will have to be us The Children of Judas -Video Upload powered by
