Fix this textThe coast was Allah?s and we could not stay,
Fix this textBut we dug deep into his holy land,
Fix this textWe met them there and now they understand
Fix this textHow men can die who know not Allah?s way.
Fix this textWe came like,shadows o?er the sea one day,
Fix this textAnd being young we cared not what was planned,
Fix this textWe gave them all we had*?red steel hand to hand
Fix this textThen threw the sea between for aye and aye.
Fix this textAnd yet, down by that old enchanted sea
Fix this textWe left a guard of dead men in their care ?
Fix this textThey loved life well, but what, those dead men
Fix this textfound
Fix this textWe never knew, for none came back to us.
Fix this textBut, all the world pays homage to them there
Fix this textBeneath that alien cross on Allah?s ground.
