hearts of stone

• (bkz: mithotyn)(bkz: gathered around the oaken table)^*
  upon strong and fast horses
  thousands have ridden beyond our borders.
  our standards has been brought
  across the whole continent
  
  hearts of stone
  and minds of steel.
  defiel all foes
  and crushed their bones.
  gathered under the respected flag
  with minds set on conquering.
  hearts of stone
  and minds of steel.
  defied all foes
  and crushed their bones.
  bonded by their nation
  they pledged allegiance to the king's crown.
  
  i'm pulled into the endless theories
  in the chronicles of crusades.
  lost in a time of blood and steel
  as i'm enchanted by the things they tell.
  
  most of the soldiers who rode into war
  courageously fell for the enemy's sword.
  the few who finally returned
  carried the light burden of gold.
