Slaves Lyrics

As 18 years just slipped away
With no word from the valiant herd
They just slipped away
There appeared a priest
Who did know the tale
Of the certain doom
That the children knew
After they set sail

Five ships survived
From the Judas fleet
As the Iron and the Pig
Turned a profit sweet
To Saracen fiends
At a handsome price
Was it for this
That we did enlist In the army of Christ?

And what became of the pack of young crusaders
And their prophet from the village
(fields) of Cloyes?
Two ships were splayed of the coast of Sardinia
Five remained in betrayal's hands
(armed with belief in lieu of steel)

And (but) remain as slaves
Slaves The master changed

But their fate's the same To remain As slaves
