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
