Lyrics:
Verse 1 (English)
In the shadow of the holy land, they rise,
Beneath the cross, where hope defies,
The Knights of Lazarus, sworn to the cure,
For the sick and lost, their hearts endure.
A brotherhood of faith and fight,
In green-clad robes, they stand for light,
Shielding the weak, the lepers’ pain,
With sword and prayer, they rise again.
Chorus (English and Latin)
Sanctus Lazarus, Custos Misericordiae! (Saint Lazarus, Guardian of Mercy!)
By your grace, we fight and stand,
For the fallen and the cursed of this holy land.
Fide et virtute, pugnamus ad finem! (With faith and courage, we fight to the end!)
In your name, the lepers we defend.
Ad Deum, nos vocavit! (God has called us!)
Knights of the cross, in battle untamed,
Through fire and death, our cause remains.
Verse 2 (English)
From the city walls of Jerusalem,
To the battlefields where swords condemn,
The Order of Lazarus stands unbowed,
For the afflicted, their heads unbowed.
Not for glory, nor for gold,
But to save the souls the world has sold,
The knights ride forth, in steel and chain,
Through suffering, they shall reign.
Chorus (English and Latin)
Sanctus Lazarus, Custos Misericordiae! (Saint Lazarus, Guardian of Mercy!)
By your grace, we fight and stand,
For the fallen and the cursed of this holy land.
Fide et virtute, pugnamus ad finem! (With faith and courage, we fight to the end!)
In your name, the lepers we defend.
Ad Deum, nos vocavit! (God has called us!)
Knights of the cross, in battle untamed,
Through fire and death, our cause remains.
Bridge (Latin)
Fratres in armis, fide invicta, (Brothers in arms, with unbroken faith,)
Custodes aegrorum, spes afflictorum! (Guardians of the sick, hope of the afflicted!)
Sub signo crucis, pugna sancta, (Under the sign of the cross, holy battle,)
Ad gloriam Dei, victoria certa! (To the glory of God, certain victory!)
Final Chorus (English and Latin)
Sanctus Lazarus, Custos Misericordiae! (Saint Lazarus, Guardian of Mercy!)
By your grace, we fight and stand,
For the fallen and the cursed of this holy land.
Fide et virtute, pugnamus ad finem! (With faith and courage, we fight to the end!)
In your name, the lepers we defend.
Ad Deum, nos vocavit! (God has called us!)
Knights of Lazarus, through battle untamed,
By sword and shield, our cause remains.
🌟 Historical Context:
