Verse 1:
Em       D/F#         G        C
I stand alone in this desolate space
   D/F#           G      Em
In death they are truly alive
Em        D/F#       G         C
Massacred innocents, evil took place
    D/F#        G       Em
The angels were burning inside

Em        D/F#  G        C
Centuries later I wonder why
     C           D             Em   Em D
What secret they took to their grave
Em            D/F#     G         C
Still burning heretics under our skies
  C            D         Em  Em D
Religion still burning inside

As we kill them all so God will know his own
    D                A     E
The innocents died for the Pope on his throne
E                  B5  A
Catholic greed and its paranoid zeal
D                    A     E
Curse of the grail and the blood of the cross

E            B5        A
Templar believers with blood on their hands
D                   A   E

Burned at the stake for their soul's liberty

To stand with the Cathars to die and be free

Verse 2:
    Em          D/F#      G            C
The book of Old Testament crippled and black
D/F#      G         Em
Satan his weapon is lust
Em          D/F#    G         C
Living this evil damnation of flesh
D/F#        G          Em
Back to the torture of life

    Em            D/F#      G          C
The perfect would willingly die at the stake
    C            D         Em   Em D
And all of their followers slain
Em         D/F#         G            C
As for the knowledge of god they had claimed
  C            D         Em  Em D
Religion still burning inside

Laugh at the darkness and in God we trust
    E              B5   A
The eye in the triangle smiling with sin
   D                  A   E
No Passover feast for the cursed are within

E                B5    A
Facing the sun as they went to their grave
