Told by modern voices
That they slaughtered
That they were evil
That they were invaders
The truth is different
The Muslim overlords of each region were violent invaders
They allowed no religious choices of the subjected
Most of the European Crusaders worshiped at altars
Most were filled with hope and reason
Most were meek, holding little land, few acres
Not murderers they were holy and reverent
They were honorable to their religion
They might not be heroes
But they chose to give lives
To release the lands
Held far from their hands
Spain and Portugal were enslaved
Invaded and condemned
Tours was the high water point
Of a Muslim tide
It is time to realize the lies
The Crusades were brutal
But came in response
To even greater brutality
And racism and evil
Are by no means owned
By the Europeans
Or the Whites
