The order of the cross

Jerusalem…

City of dust… city of God…

Where saints and murderers walked beneath the same burning sun.

The cross was raised…

And behind it rode men without mercy.

Templars…

Warrior monks forged in prayer and blood.

Seeking not salvation…

But the secret buried beneath the temple stones.

Opening — Melodic Tremolo Riff + Female Chant

Verse I

From papal fire the order came

Baptized in war, adorned in flame

White cloaks stained by human rain

Holy vows drowned in pain

Beneath the eastern crimson sky

They watched the kingdoms bleed and die

Through desert storms their horses screamed

Toward the ruins prophets dreamed

In sacred halls the candles fade

Truth and heresy now braid

Chorus —Symphonic

Templar knights!

Fighting monks spilling blood for the cross!

Templar knights!

Heaven gained through infinite loss!

Ride through the sands where the dead gods sleep

Where ancient shadows forever creep

Templar knights!

Spilling blood for the cross!

Narration

They opened forbidden books beneath dying candlelight…

Ancient rites hidden from Rome.

And in the silence of the old temple…

They asked the question no priest would dare speak aloud.

Riding through the eastern graves

Searching crypts beneath the waves

Occult scriptures carved in stone

Calling from the dark unknown

Horned shadows crowned in gold

Blasphemies the priests foretold

Would the tale of Christ decay

If hidden words were brought to day

Kiss the head of the sacred goat

Hear forgotten prophets quote

Ride to Jerusalem once more

Unlock the ancient hidden door

Buried in the sand below

Sleeps the Grail no man should know

Templar knights!

Bound by fire, consumed by sin!

Templar knights!

Let the heresy begin!

Burned alive beneath God’s eyes

Ashes carried through midnight skies

Still their secrets call the brave

From beyond the martyr’s grave

The flames took their bodies…

But never their mystery.

And beneath the holy stones…

The truth still waits.
