Thomas a Becket (Richard Burton):
Lord Gilbert, Baron of England by the grace of his majesty,
King Henry II, seized upon the person of a priest of the Holy Church and unlawfully did hold him in custody.
Furthermore, in the presence of Lord Gilbert, and by his command, his men seized upon this priest when he tried to escape and put him to death. This is the sin of murder and sacrilege.
In that Lord Gilbert has rendered no act of contrition or repentance, and is at the moment, at liberty in the land, we do, here and now, separate him from the precious body and blood of Christ, and from the society of all Christians.
We exclude him from our Holy Mother Church and all her sacraments, in heaven, or on Earth. We declare him excommunicate and anathema. We cast him into the outer darkness.
We judge him damned with the devil and his fallen angels and all the reprobate, to eternal fire
and everlasting pain!

Under a blood moon sky I ride...with you
Six villains speeding at our side,
Castle in the clouds, through wind, through rain
Devils all around splitting open their cursed veins
Aleluia!
Incense burns at the blackened spire
Poison arrows pierce my shield
Bearing such a gift, a ring of plague
On the wings of apocalypse
I break this Satan's cursed chains, oh!
There stands the demons in the road
In tremoring fear I do approach
I must use my wits and sword
And stand firm in the word of the lord
Get behind me you fell snakes
Fall upon my holy stake
I will grind you into dust
The path of the protector I will trust
I will trust you

End the seed
Of papal aggression
Princely Lies
Cut down the tree of their life
Ironsides
Wielding his mission
Keeps the faith
Burning here in your heart
Feed the flame
Of eternal hatred
We shall ride
On the steed of new life
Royal Charlie
So boldly a heathen
Before my eyes
He shall kneel 'ere he dies
Purification now!
Walk with death
Our only companion
Spread the fear
Judgement day drawing near
We are born
To stand with our captain
Jesus Christ
Lead us on in your light
A Time to War
Has now befallen
This golden isle
Where once danced maiden fair
Burn the Land
Fallow and Ruin
Leave none alive
Cut down the tree of their life
Purification now!
Purification now!
Purification now!

I hear the morning prayer ring out
From the minaret
I can tell that we are nearing
The holy city of jehovah lord
Set out from Avignon
With red crosses and white flags
To wrest control of the scared citadel
From the infidel
Saint Peter be my guide!!
Saint Stephen be my shield!!
I watch as blood flows in the streets
Cleansing the sepulcher
My sword arm is made strong by our lord
To kill the young and old
Vindicate me in eternity
As I strike down your ancient foe
Take not a prisoner alive
Rip out their rotten hearts
Saint Peter be my guide!!
Saint Stephen be my shield!!
I kneel before my warlord
He shall grant me absolution
Lakes of blood for the crest of Christ
Valiant knights of papal might!
