The sun beats down, the walls run red
The cannons roar, the siege is set
A thousand ships block out the tide
Yet here we stand, defenders of the Cross
Steel and fire, blood and bone
No man fights this war alone
Though death may rise, our swords will shine
For faith and glory intertwined
Stand, fight, never fall
Hold the line against them all
By steel and flame, by God's own hand
The righteous few shall rule this land
Though outnumbered, though outlasted
We rise as the Defenders of the Cross
Their towers rise, their cannons break
Our fortress trembles, stone will shake
Yet faith is forged in battle's cost
No fear remains-defenders of the Cross
Steel and fire, blood and bone
No man fights this war alone
Though death may rise, our swords will shine
For faith and glory intertwined
Stand, fight, never fall
Hold the line against them all
By steel and flame, by God's own hand
The righteous few shall rule this land
Though outnumbered, though outlasted
We rise as the Defenders of the Cross
The gates will burn, the walls may fall
Yet in the end, we heed the call
No chains shall bind, no king shall reign
While faith remains, we break the chains
Stand, fight, never fall
Hold the line against them all
By steel and flame, by God's own hand
The righteous few shall rule this land
Though outnumbered, though outlasted
We rise as the Defenders of the Cross
