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
