Stone and Gold Lyrics

From rugged cliffs, to valleys deep

Where shadows lie and secrets sleep

The Templars raised their walls of might

In castles built to guard the light

Châteaux of strength, of iron will

Where whispers of their vows stood still

Through fortress gates, the pilgrims passed

Protected by the knights steadfast

Montségur and Krak des Chevaliers

Strongholds where no fear could lay

With towers high and walls so wide

The Templars watched, their faith their guide

Fortresses of stone and gold

Where tales of courage still unfold

The Templars' walls, both strong and grand

A testament to faith's command

In every brick, in every gate

They shaped the world, they sealed their fate

From Gisors' keep to Tomar's heights

The Templars ruled the day and nights

Their castles built tall and strong

But not just swords did they employ

In gold and trade they found their joy

With seals of trust and notes of worth

They reshaped wealth across the earth

In vaults below those hallowed halls

They stored the riches of their calls

From lands afar to distant shores

Everywhere, the Templars opened

Trading doors

Fortresses of stone and gold

Where tales of courage still unfold

The Templars' walls, both strong and grand

A testament to faith's command

In every brick, in every gate

They shaped the world, they sealed their fate

With banking's art, and chivalry's grace

The Templars forged a timeless place

And as the centuries passed by

Their castles still reach to the sky

In fortresses and lines of trade

Their story, like the walls, won't fade

A tale of strength, of wealth untold

The Templars' story — stone and gold
