The Battle of Acre (The Aftermath) Lyrics

Amidst the stones of Acre's wall

The Templar blood did seep

Where banners torn and broken lay

And widows knelt to weep

The cross and crescent shadows cast

On ruins scarred and bare

As silence fell where battle raged

And smoke hung thick in air

The fallen knights in silver mail

Their swords beside them stilled

Lay strewn upon the blood-soaked earth

Where vows unmet were spilled

The shattered shields, the splintered spears

The banners burnt to ash

Told tales of faith and fury

Spent in war's relentless clash

In dawn's pale light, the victors came

To claim what spoils remained

While weary hands dug shallow graves

For those in silence chained

The crows took flight, the prayers rose high

As broken walls stood bare

And Acre's blood-stained fields

Gave way to solemn, empty air
