Back in early twelfth-century Europe In a time of reform and spiritual rebirth An order of knights was brought to life To defend the holy land from the infidel
A new kind of knight, a warrior-monk Soldiers sworn to poverty and self-denial Yet fighting bravely with primitive means Against a vastly superior force
Years of battle, blood, fire and death But between slaughtering and pillaging The knights stumbled upon various cults And delved into mysterious mysticisms
The knights discovered the forbidden They saw the pleasures life has to offer And ultimately they decided to change They chose to tread the Left Hand Path
The order throve in its new-found power Acquiring massive material possessions Becoming a force to be reckoned with While rejoicing in lustful blasphemous rites
But the success of the knights templar Would ultimately become their undoing The king of France envied their wealth Charged them with heresy and blasphemy
Through torture confessions were extracted And the order was completely dismantled Its vast possessions seized by the king Its leaders burned to death at the stake
But the order triumphed beyond the grave Both king and pope fell to the curse Cast upon them by the Grand Master While flames were already caressing his flesh
The templars lost a battle but not the war The order went underground and survived Throughout the centuries it exerted its power Its rituals being practised to this very dayTeksty umieszczone na naszej stronie są własnością wytwórni, wykonawców, osób mających do nich prawa.
