Templar

Music & lyrics by J Stephen Roberts

Church on a hill in a grove

Below skies gray

Lay the sword at the altar

Kneel and pray

Faith is that a soul black with sin

Can be restored

But what penance could ever cleanse the Christian blood

That stains this sword?

Brothers all around as I kneel

And the oath is sworn

Clad in the mantle and the spurs

I am reborn

The burdens of the Devil's rule

No more upon me lay

And the sword that once carved my path to hell

Will guard the pilgrim's way
