700 Years On Lyrics - Singles - Paradox

[How the events of the 13th century are remembered today, and does it really have any boaring on today's society] 

A country splintered by religion 

Torn by anarchy 

Heretics burned for their derision of the holy See 

Seven hundred years on 

World, do you recall 

Just what happened then 

Gentlemen and Gentlewomen 

Let into the pyre 

Seven hundred years ago 

Let's think 

Images of war 

Flashing swords, burning homes 

The Albigensian Crusade 

See the ruins upon the hills 

Just seven hundred years on 

So now in nineteen eighty nine 

How much do we know 

Except for learned scholars 

No-one knows at all 

Blind 

Apathy 

Forgotten 

A part of history 

Flashing swords, burning homes 

The Albigensian Crusade 

See the ruins upon the hills 

Just seven hundred years on 

To blind to see that religion's free 

Believe what you believe 

Established Churches still don't agree 

Seven hundred years on 

Heresy a different route 

From mother church in Rome 

See us, we're hurting no-one 

Why can't you leave us alone 

Hunted 

Persued 

Burnt 

Marched into the fire 

Oh, then!
