"What do I do next?" said the bishop to the
priest,
"I have spent my whole life waiting, preparing
for the feast,
And now you say Jerusalem has fallen and is
lost,
The king of heathen Saracen has seized the holy
cross;"
Then the priest said "Oh my bishop, we must put
them to the sword,
For God in all His mercy will find a just
reward,
For the noblemen and sinners, and knights of
ready hand,
Who will be the Lord's Crusader, send word
through all the land,
Jerusalem is lost,
Jerusalem is lost,
Jerusalem is lost;"
"Tell me what to do", said the king upon his
throne,
"but speak to me in whispers for we are not
alone,
They tell me that Jerusalem has fallen to the
hand,
Of some bedevilled eastern Heathen who has seized
the Holy Land;"
Then the chamberlain said "Lord, we must call
upon our foes
In Spain and France and Germany to end our bitter
wars,
All Christian men must be as one and gather for
the fight,
You will be their leader, begin the battle cry,
Jerusalem is lost,
Jerusalem is lost,
Jerusalem is lost"...
Ooh, high on a hill, in the town of Jerusalem,
There stood Saladin, the king of the Saracens,
Whoring and drinking and snoring and sinking,
around him his army lay,
Secure in the knowledge that he had won the day;
A messenger came, blood on his feet and a wound
in his chest,
"The Christians are coming!" he said, "I have
seen their cross in the west,"
In a rage Saladin struck him down with his
knife,
And he said "I know that this man lies,
They quarrel too much, the Christians could never
unite!
I am invincible, I am the king,
I am invincible, and I will win..."
Closer they came, the army of Richard the
Lionheart,
Marching by day and night, with soldiers from
every part,
And when the Crusaders came over the mountain and
they saw Jerusalem,
They fell to their knees and prayed for her
release;
They started the battle at dawn, taking the city
by storm,
With horsemen and bowmen and engines of war,
They broke through the city walls,
The Heathens were flying and screaming and
dying,
And the Christian swords were strong,
And Saladin ran when he heard their victory
song;
"We are invincible, God is the king,
We are invincible, and we will win!"
"What do I do now?" said the wise man to the
fool,
"I have spent my whole life searching, to find
the Golden Rule,
Though centuries have disappeared, the memory
still remains,
Of those enemies together, could it be that way
again?"
Then the fool said "Oh you wise men, you really
make me laugh,
With your talk of vast persuasion and searching
through the past,
There is only greed and evil in the men who fight
today,
The song of the Crusader has long since gone
away,
Jerusalem is lost,
Jerusalem is lost,
Jerusalem is lost...
Jerusalem."
