Full Lyrics :

You doubt your strength or courage
Don't come to join with me
For deth surely wants you
With sharp and pointy teeth
An animal so vicious
No others fought and won
So on the fields of battle
We are the chosen ones
Human bones blank the dirt
OF the heathens lair
That we must pass this den of deth
The only path from here
But I walk in the light
The time to die has come
No-one shall take my life
I'm of the chosen ones
Black shadows fill the sky
As the creatures eyes grow near
Raise the shield of the holy pilgrims
High into the air
Heavens powers fill my arms
Onward now to fight I'm sent
Oh the beast is coming
To put you to the test

(Solo: Mustaine)

Lookout!
Now this land is mine to pilage
Rape, and steal, and take at will
Never let you cross this path
I reign for now I stay to kill

No Picture dann Average	#1 by dann at Feb 16, 1980 at 7:01 PM EST
	This song is about the Crusades, which took place in Europe during the 13th Century. At that time, armies of Holy Templars were travelling the land and running off(or worse) everyone who was not of Christian faith. The fact that these warriors were guilty of doing the same things that they were against is the basis of this song. The knights were killing killers and pillaging pillagers.

No Picture Peter Wanna Be	#2 by Peter Lambden at Apr 28, 1993 at 10:06 PM EST
