Excellent NWOBHM band, I was lucky enough to see them a few times back in the day.

Biff had an excellent voice, and they wrote some cracking tunes

Crusader

 

cool song, always enjoyed the lyrics

 

Crusader 6:33

 

(Who dares battle the Saracen)

 

Crusader, crusader, please take me with you

The battle lies far to the east

Crusader, crusader, don't leave me alone

I want to ride out on your quest

I'm waiting, I'm waiting, to stand by your side

To fight with you over the sea

They're calling, they're calling, I have to be there

The holy land has to be free

 

Fight the good fight

Believe what is right

Crusader, the Lord of the Realm

Fight the good fight

With all your might

Crusader, the Lord of the Realm

 

We're marching, we're marching, to a land far from home

No one can say who'll return

For Christendom's sake, we'll take our revenge

On the pagans from out of the east

We Christians are coming, with swords held on high

United by faith and the cause

The Saracen heathen will soon taste our steel

Our standards will rise 'cross the land

 

Fight the good fight

Believe what is right

Crusader, the Lord of the Realm

Fight the good fight

With all your might

Crusader, the Lord of the Realm

 

To battle, to battle, the Saracen hordes

We follow the warrior king

Onward, ride onward, into the fight

We carry the sign of the cross

Warlords of England, Knights of the Realm

Spilling their blood in the sand

Crusader, crusader, the legend is born

The future will honour your deeds

 

Fight the good fight

Believe what is right

Crusader, the Lord of the Realm

Fight the good fight

With all your might

Crusader, the Lord of the Realm

 

(Come Crusader let battle commence)

 

Fight the good fight

Believe what is right

Crusader, the Lord of the Realm

Crusader, the Lord of the Realm

 

Fight the good fight

Believe what is right

Crusader, the Lord of the Realm

Crusader, the Lord of the Realm

I remember seeing them in Newcastle on the Denim and Leather tour and after the show, a load of us hung around outside. After a while they let us back in and then Saxon came out to sign autographs and chat to everyone. Top lads.

I had two Saxon albums (tapes), The Power and the Glory and Strong Arm of the Law........both rocked hard, especially back in the day.

I saw them back in 1983, can't remember the tour (Eagle has landed?).

 

They were touring the UK last year and I saw them in Belfast.

 

Shame to see a great group playing to a small crowd in a small venue but they still rocked.

 

I bought a triple CD "The Very Best of Saxon (1979 to 1988) from Amazon which was good value .

I used to like Saxon back in the day (Wheels of Steel, Dallas 1 PM, 747, Princess of the Night, And the bands Played on, Denim and Leather, Strong Arm of the law etc) but I haven't listened to them for years and years. But I've been listening to their new album on youtube, sounds pretty good, especially Battalions of Steel (they've not just got wheels of steel these days) and Demon Sweeney Todd.
