The Legacy of the Templars Lyrics

In the shadow of the cross

A brotherhood was born

Knights bound in silence

A sacred oath was sworn

In the land of the Holy

Where the swords met the sand

The Templars rose, defenders

Of this sacred land

Wore the white and the red

A symbol of the light

For the poor and the pilgrims

They rode into the fight

From Jerusalem's walls

To the Temple Mount's height

They carried the banner

Through the darkest of nights

By faith and by steel

Through the storms they would ride

Guardians of the Grail

With heaven on their side

Oh, the Legacy of the Templars

Written in the stone

Echoes of their power

Long after they're gone

From the rise in glory

To the fall in flame

Their story is eternal

History knows their name

In the vaults of their halls

Where once their treasures lay

A new kind of wealth

Was forged in their day

They carried no gold

Yet kingdoms they controlled

Instead of coin and jewels

A promise note they'd hold

From the Holy Land's roads

To the bustling town square

Their wealth grew fast

As they took their share

The first of the bankers

With a vision so grand

A legacy that shapes

The wealth of our lands

By quill and by seal

They paved the way

For a world where commerce

Could safely play

Oh, the Legacy of the Templars

Written in the stone

Echoes of their power

Long after they're gone

From the rise in glory

To the fall in flame

Their story is eternal

History knows their name

But power breeds envy

And wealth breeds fear

Kings grew suspicious

And the end drew near

In the halls of France

Shadows whispered low

A plot was born

A deadly undertow

On a fateful dawn

Friday the 13th rang

Chains bound their hands

In fire they sang

Accused of heresy, of treason

And of lies

The Templars fell

Beneath the jealous skies

By the flame and the sword

Their secrets would burn

But not lost, only hidden

One day to return

Now their castles are ruins

But their spirit lives on

In legends and whispers

They're never truly gone

Hidden in the codes

In the myths of old

The secrets of the Templars

Remain untold

In the hearts of the seekers

Their legacy survives

A brotherhood eternal

Across the sands of time

Guardians of the faith

The torch they passed on

In the shadows of history

Their name lives strong

Masonic halls echo

With the tales they weave

Of the Templar Knights

Who would never truly leave

Their wisdom and courage

Still light the way

A legacy that shines

Even to this day

By mystery and myth

Their tale still unfolds

The Legacy of the Templars

Forever bold

In the dust of the ages

Where the forgotten lie

The Templars still ride

Beneath the endless sky

Their light never fades

Though their bodies may fall

For the Legacy of the Templars

Outlasts us all
