Siege Of Baghdad Lyrics - Threshold

burning the sands alight way into the air 

dark black clouds obscure the sky a twilight of despair 

and babylon is overrun by armies of the lord 

who cleanse their souls in holy wars and sing in praise of sword 

the mighty cross of jerusalem the crescent moon of troy 

saracens and noblemen a sport they all enjoy 

churning black, the seas awash environmental doom 

oil wells are set alight obscure a darkling moon 

euphrates valleys overrun by armies of the west 

sent by god to claim their prize a black gold treasure chest 

the mighty cross of jerusalem the crescent moon of troy 

saracens and noblemen a sport they all enjoy 

from the cradle of civilisation springs the mother of all wars 

a u.n. team of investigation the breaking of all human laws 

we will never finish what we started and break the tyrants rule 

just like all those old time crusaders we're the only fools
