Disciples Of Sophia (the Templars) Lyrics - Necromantia

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
