Lyrics
Time could not enslave,
The holy and brave,
Knights of the lord.
Men destined to be,
Soldiers supreme,
Bible and sword.
No castle of stone,
Kingdom or throne,
Stood in the way,
Their favors were sold.
Pieces of gold.
Fortune of kings
But when constracts are made,
Debt must be paid... or
Vultures will sing,
So the order was news
For christians and jews.
Sultans and slaves.
Legend or lies,
Truth or disguise,
Ever their story was told,
Of knights who were free,
To prosper and see,
Power and glory unfold,
From secrets they never sold.
While burning the flame,
Fortune and fame,
Came hand in hand.
From so close to home,
And emperors of Rome,
To the Holy land
So more debts were raised,
More interest paid,
With every crusade
Legend or lies,
Truth or disguise,
Ever their story was told,
Of knights who were free,
To prosper and see,
Power and glory unfold,
From secrets they never sold.
