Have you heard of Massaga
Where Alexander did covet their land? Now Ora, Aornos, and Massaga Have crumbled beneath his strong hand. And as ye stand in the dust of Massaga And you see the results of bloodlust and pride- Pray remember the souls whose lives abide In the dust of Massaga! Have ye heard of Béziers Where a priest did order the slaughter? Now God knows his own in Béziers Twenty thousand dead on his altar. And as ye stand in the dust of Béziers And you see the results of bloodlust and pride- Pray remember the souls whose lives abide In the dust of Béziers! Have ye hear of Nishapur Where the daughter of a Khan was widowed? Revenge she did ask for from Nishapur And from pyramids of heads the blood flowed. And as ye stand in the dust of Nishapur And you see the results of bloodlust and pride- Pray remember the souls whose lives abide In the dust of Nishapur! |
