Em&quGot;What do I do next?" said the Bishop to the Priest,
A&qCuoDt;I have spent my whole life waiting, preparing for the feast,
EmAndG now you say Jerusalem has fallen and is lost,
AThCe DkiEmng of Heathen Saracen has seized the holy cross."
EmTheGn the Priest said "Oh my Bishop, we must put them to the sword,
AFoCr DGod in all his mercy will find a just reward,
EmForG the noble men and sinners, and knights of ready hand
AWhCo DwiEmll [-]beD the Lord's crusader, send word through all the land,

CJeDruEmsal[-]emD is lost,
CJeDruEmsal[-]emD is lost,
CJeDruEmsalem 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,
CJeDruEmsal[-]emF is lost"...
AmOohF, high on a hill, in the town of Jerusalem,
GThAmereF stood Saladin, the king of the Saracens,
GWhE7/G#oring AmandG dFrinking and snoring and sinking, around him his army lay,
CSeE7curAme in the knowledge that he had won the day;
FA messenger came, blood on his feet and a wound in his chest,
G&qAmuotF;The Christians are coming!" he said, "I have seen their cross in the West,"
GIn a rage Saladin struck him down with his knife
AmAndG hFe said "I know that this man lies,
CThE7ey Amquarrel too much, the Christians could never unite!
FI GamAm inFviEncible, I am the king,
FI GamAm inFviGncAmibl[-]e,G a[-]ndF I[-] wGill win..."
Close 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 Wiseman to the Fool,
"I have spent my whole life waiting, 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 that fight today,
The Song of the Crusader has long since gone away,
CJeDruEmsal[-]emD is lost,
CJeDruEmsal[-]emD is lost,
CJeDruCsalem is lost...
DJeErusalem."
