[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!
