Текст песни: Knights of Baphomet + перевод

Back in early twelfth-century Europe

In a time of reform and spiritual rebirth

An order of knights was brought to life

To defend the holy land from the infidel

A new kind of knight, a warrior-monk

Soldiers sworn to poverty and self-denial

Yet fighting bravely with primitive means

Against a vastly superior force

Years of battle, blood, fire and death

But between slaughtering and pillaging

The knights stumbled upon various cults

And delved into mysterious mysticisms

The knights discovered the forbidden

They saw the pleasures life has to offer

And ultimately they decided to change

They chose to tread the Left Hand Path

The order throve in its new-found power

Acquiring massive material possessions

Becoming a force to be reckoned with

While rejoicing in lustful blasphemous rites

But the success of the knights templar

Would ultimately become their undoing

The king of France envied their wealth

Charged them with heresy and blasphemy

Through torture confessions were extracted

And the order was completely dismantled

Its vast possessions seized by the king

Its leaders burned to death at the stake

But the order triumphed beyond the grave

Both king and pope fell to the curse

Cast upon them by the Grand Master

While flames were already caressing his flesh

The templars lost a battle but not the war

The order went underground and survived

Throughout the centuries it exerted its power

Its rituals being practised to this very day
