Necromantia - Disciples Of Sophia (The Templars) lyrics

From the heart of Europe we marched

down to the cities of the holy land

we pledged our lives to serve the cross

to guard the secrets of the temple's vault

We dressed in white and warlike red

a few noble knights of purest soul

armed with cold steel and fiery hearts

infidel dogs we slayed with wrath

We seeked the wisdom of the gods

through moslim texts, catharian codes

and zoroastric formulas

to the feverish writings of St. John

We hold the grail, the blood of christ

the dead sea scrolls revealed the truth

we felt the hypocrisy of the church

lies and corruption spread by Paul

We turned our backs to king and pope

we spit the cross, symbol of pain

like real sons of James the just

we did disown the law of +god+

They hunt us down, they took our homes

comrades lost, tortured to death

as our last grand master screamed inflamed

in Baphomet's name we shall return

[chorus]

Knights of the temple, guardians of the flame

warriors and wizards, the dragon's way

keepers of the grail
