The crusaders rode as Germans,
steel and cross in hand,
their banners carving Lebanon,
their footsteps foreign on the sand.
Yet the Alemanni,
not German as they claim,
their roots stretch westward,
toward the Dutch name.
History bends,
yet truth holds fast —
not all who wore the title
were the same in the past.
Crusaders German,
Alemanni Dutch,
the map of blood
is never a single touch.
