Intro Verse 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!" Interlude Verse 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." Interlude Verse 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 Interlude Verse 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." Interlude Verse 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!" Interlude: Verse 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 your father clear, deep in your heart "Son, know your enemy, as I would have them know... my son."
