Heresy Lyrics - Singles - Paradox

[From the 11th to the 13th century a particular religious sect was allowed to grow in the Languedoc region of France. Called Catharism this dualist thinking religion flourished, not only with the poor but also people like the Counts of Toulouse and the great Esclarmonte of Foix. In the early part of the 13th century the Pope petitioned the king to form. a crusade and vanquish the heretics. This petitioning finally led to the Albigensian Crusade. A force of Knights and Mercenaries besieged the Cathars and in a massive pyre at Montsegur massacred some 200 of them virtually eliminating Catharism in Southern France] 

Heresy 

The beginning. 

How the believers of the dualist theory turned there backs on Catholicism 

and found their own methods of embracing God 

They started on a distant shore 

The rich believing with the poor 

Fighting, striving hard to seek 

A higher power with something else to say 

Spreading their belief 

Praying for a life 

It's the perfect way 

But to the church it's just called heresy 

Heresy 

Heretics, that and nothing more 

Daring to renege on our Gods law 

It's wrong for them to feel this way 

Detrimental for the soul 

Help them through this time 

Disregard these lies 

They say the perfect way 

But to the church it's just called heresy 

Heresy 

Yeah Choose! 

Cathars gaining more control 

The choice is free, us or holy Rome 

Join with us you'll see the light 

We have a holy Right 

It's the perfect way 

But to the church it's just called heresy 

Heresy, heresy, heresy 

Choose!
