The Ultimate Sacrifice Lyrics

They came without warning

They destroyed our rear guard

The end will still be upon us

But we'll stand and fight real hard

The threat of death

The threat of death

We shall have no fear

The threat of death

The threat of death

The time, the hour is here

Our mighty Christian Lands

Are under dire threat

If they kill the chosen one

Our empire no longer will be left

Francia needs a leader

For our Lord Charlemgne we fight

We'll sacrifice our lives for him

And resist with all our might

Paladins, Paladins

Together we raise our swords

Paladins, Paladins

Lightning, steel and more

For years we stood together

Fighting back to back

Now what is it you ask me?

That I run away and hide

Death I am not afraid of

But I do not understand

Francia needs their King now

Not just an epitaph

He must escape the carnage

He must stay alive

We'll cleave a pathway for him

To safety he will ride

He must escape the carnage

He must stay alive

Paladins, Paladins

Our name imparts fear

Paladins, Paladins

Death draws ever near

If they want to rule us

Charlemagne they must kill

We'll defend this reign together

We know it is God's will

No mortal man could have wished for

So brave and trustful Knights

They fought and gave their lives

For me and our empire

In death they made

The ultimate sacrifice.
