Louis IX

A better king had never lived
Son of blanche he came to give
From afar the more to please
He washed their feet and healed their fears
All beggars came to see their liege
The miracle was plain to see
Fine the words in which he'd use
Validate the god we choose

Chorus:
Louis the IX
Louis the IX

Back to his homeland to rest his sword
And reconcile with his lords
Prophecy made a restless king
Die a martyr with forgiven sins
Souls would wrestle but he didn't fade
Forgive his captors with ransom paid
With templar mind and solitude
Release the king defuse the feud

Chorus

King before were ruled by rod
He came to them a king of god
Veteran of the crusades
Captured ransomed but he didn't rage
He came back home to go again
The holy land he came to love
From this war he met his fate
Not from an arrow but from the plague
