The Knights of Charlemagne
----------------------------------------------
Some men begged to stay behind to guard their earthly pleasures, while others left to heathen lands to fight for Heavenly treasures!
O glorious tale throughout the land a valiant feat a lesson, of Charlemagne and knightly peers when treason did aggress them!
They rode out of Frankish lands with mighty steeds in armor, Roland and his bravest knights who fought at Roncesvalles!
At a distance from their king there trailed the faithful warriors, Roland and his peers did pass by canyon rocks and boulders.
Saracens in ambush charged, by treason was it triggered, sword and shield in battle clashed, the faint of heart would wither!
Overwhelmed in numbers great, the warriors fought on bravely, dealing mighty blows and prayers, saying: "Strengthen us O Lady!"
Roland fought a valiant fight, as flies he dropped their numbers, all his men did give their all, their blows as sounding thunder!
And there approached to Roland’s side, His Excellency Turpin, who with his mace dealt swiftest blows to haughty enemy soldiers!
The Bishop said “We die this day: Good Charles cannot be seen! My son for thy imprudence we, now with our lives, must pay!”
Yet valiant now oh men of light, behold I now absolve! For all thy sins, one Penance told! Go strike the enemy cold!
And after this the Bishop struck, as enemies fell in waves. And in his wake of swings and breaks was struck by enemy blades!
Olivier said Roland now, tis time to call the Emperor, then blew his Olifant, he did! His temples burst asunder!
Now it seems we meet our end, may God receive us surely! For Him Who hung upon the Cross, we die and this is glory!
And on the wind a distant sound had reached the ears of Charles, "Tis Roland and his Olifant! To war we fight with honor!"
"Sire do wait for this could be merely a false alarm." "Silence!" says he to Ganelon, these words can only harm!
“Bind this man! This traitor, he! I'll deal with him in time! It seems that silver won his soul till treason be his crime!”
Then charged Great Charles with army strong, to crush that ambush brazen, and aid his nephew's faithful band to battle did they hasten.
A mortal blow did Roland take therefore he would expire, but not before giving crushing blows to the enemies of his Sire!
When towards the last he raised his eyes a knightly angel shown, Saint Michael who would bear his soul and take to Heaven’s throne.
When at last the emperor rode through battlefield now hushed, and in his grief saw Roland passed, yet enemies round him crushed!
My Lord, look hence! Far distantly and see the enemy flee’eth! And all did hasten, to the chase with blazing indignation.
And as he rode Great Charles saw the sun begin to set, yet prayed to God the sun to stop lest justice not be met.
And surely did the sun hold place as God heard Charles’ plea, the distance closed upon his foes, who lost all means to flee!
As thunder clash the battle shook the earth unto its depth, and all who escaped the sword took swim, yet drowned by river, swept!
And as the final foe gave cry when Charles’ sword he met. The Heavens shown in a brilliant sky and then the sun did set!

    Charlemagne and Roland represent human types that are fixed in the luminous firmament of legendary stature. Their impact on Western society helped raise the standard of the ideal of chivalry, and to inspire a sublime tone of heroism for the rest of human history to be in consonance with. These examples are after Christ and the greatest saints of course, but are themselves necessary facets and key contributors toward building a highest notion of true heroism and hierarchical granduer. All of this to the great chagrin of woke-minded and egalitarian mentalities. This song seeks to magnify and prolong the noble echo of these great men's footsteps in history. Yet, even the echo of the least, but Redeemed person's step, resounds likewise in eternity.

    Read the writings of Blessed Catherine Ann Emerich she was a mystic that predicted a lot of what has happened in the 21st century. She spoke of the Great Monarch who would be Crowned at Westphalia and would unite Western Europe. There have been many saints and mystics who have talked about this - even if many aren’t recognised by the church it’s a little bit of hope to hold on to.

    No. The Franks were the ones that conquered and ruled over what is now modern day France, they laid the groundworks and built the country but they spoke old dutch and came from the netherlands/Belgium and Germany. The Franks are not ancestors of the French. If anything the Dutch/Flemish peoples are decentendent from the Franks genetically and linguistically.

    @nikorasunippon2371 Yes the Frankish nobility created what is now France but they only ruled. The Frankish population/normal people stayed in the low countries. I just think it's strange that the French call themselves after those who conquered and ruled over them. The idea of England as a country for example started by Williams(a French)conquest and England has been ruled primarily by French nobility for the following centuries but not a single englishman will call himself French. So why would the Gauls name themselves Franks/French?
