Templar Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Responsible for the crossing of Christians
Holy men, richer than kings
winning back Jerusalem
The Templars the poor knights of God
their victories gave him respect and power
Templars, which are really?
Templars, whom you serve?
Templars, the Knights of fate?
In Solomon's temple was head office
Legends tell that they are the secret protectors
Receiving power of unprecedented church
The warriors of the popes monks, church
Won several crusades in the name of a king
Not to us, Lord, not to us, but for the glory of his name
The Knight Templars is truly a fearless knight and secure on all sides, for his soul is protected by the armor of faith, just as his body is protected by the stell armor, he is therefore doubly armed and without needing fears of demons and not of men
Cross-proclaimed wars popes
Fought for recovery of Christian property
In France condemned the dungeons for heresy
The King Philip, to seize the wealth
The Templars were burned alive at the stake
What's left only a legend about
These knights who want to protect the dogmas of Christian church
