🎤 Lyrics:

[Verse 1:
Ad crucem nos vocas, o Santiago
Arma nostra fulgent, in nocte et die.
Contra infidelis, ad portas Cáceres,
Gladius in manibus, fides in corde nostro.

(To the cross you call us, O Santiago,
Our arms shine, in night and day.
Against the infidels, to the gates of Cáceres,
Sword in hand, faith in our hearts.)

[Chorus:
Cross of the sword, we ride with fire,
By Santiago’s might, we never tire.
Storming the walls, the trumpets roar,
For Christendom’s sake, we fight once more.

[Verse 2: Chanted and Sung]
Flames rise high, banners in the sky,
Through smoke and blood, the knights will die.
In the breach, our courage found,
With every strike, the walls come down.

[Bridge:
Gloria Sancti Jacobi,
Patronus et dux bellatorum.
Per angusta et per aspera,
Nos duc ad victoriam.

(Glory to Saint James,
Patron and leader of warriors.
Through narrow paths and hardships,
Lead us to victory.)

[Final Chorus
Cross of the sword, with blood and flame,
We carve our path, we earn our name.
From Cáceres to heaven’s gate,
The Knights of Santiago seal their fate.
