The 13th Day Lyrics

On a morning cloaked in shadowed dread

The sun rose red, the sky it bled

October's chill, a fateful day

When darkness swept the knights away

The Templars woke to steel and chains

Their legacy now marked with stains

By royal decree and papal lies

Their fate was sealed beneath cold skies

On the thirteenth day, the shadows fell

And silence wrapped the Templar bell

With chains of fear, and webs of lies

The truth was lost in frightened eyes

Heretics they called them all

But who will answer history's call

The thirteenth day, the Templars stand

Condemned by both the church and land

The banners torn, the swords laid down

The noble knights betrayed by crown

Falsehoods whispered in the night

Would cast them all from holy light

In dungeons dark, the truth was torn

The holy vows they once had sworn

Now twisted by the tongues of men

Who sought to break their might with pen

The Inquisition's cruel embrace

Left scars upon each haunted face

With questions sharp and torture's hand

The knights were forced to make a stand

A trial set by greed and fear

To silence those who held so dear

The secrets of a world unknown

Now buried by the coldest throne

Confessions drawn by blood and flame

Innocence lost, forgotten name

But through the fire, their spirit burned

A lesson that the world has learned

On a moonless night, the torches burned

And faith to fear was cruelly turned

With tortured cries and broken trust

The Templars fell to ashes, dust

Falsehoods twisted, truth denied

Injustice claimed the ones who tried

To guard the light with sword in hand

Now shadows rule the holy land

As ashes fell, the pyres high

Their spirits soared beyond the sky

The truth they knew, but never spoke

Became a tale in whispered smoke

The crown and church

They thought they'd won

But justice rises with the sun

And in the hearts of those who see

The Templars' cause will still be free

On the thirteenth day, the shadows fell

But history's voice will always tell

Of noble knights and their cruel fate

A sacrifice we can't negate

Heretics they called them all

But truth will rise beyond the fall

The thirteenth day, they made their stand

Forever free, in every land

And so the story carries on

In every dusk, in every dawn

The Templars' name, though marred by lies

Will shine once more, in endless skies

The thirteenth day, a memory

Of courage, strength, and history

Their voices echo, never lost

A symbol of the final cost
