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
