Montsegur - Iron Maiden

I stand alone in this desolate space 
In death they are truly alive 
Massacred innocence, evil took place 
The angels were burning inside 

Centuries later I wonder why 
What secret they took to their grave 
Still burning heretics under our skies 
Religion's still burning inside 

[Chorus:]
At the gates and the walls of Montsegur 
Blood on the stones of the citadel 
At the gates and the walls of Montsegur 
Blood on the stones of the citadel 
At the gates and the walls of Montsegur 
Blood on the stones of the citadel 
At the gates and the walls of Montsegur 
Blood on the stones of the citadel 

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

Templar believers with blood on their hands 
Joined in the chorus to kill on demand 
Burned at the stake for their soul's liberty 
To stand with the cathars, to die and be free 

The book of Old Testament crippled and black 
Satan - his weapon is lust 
Leaving this evil damnation of flesh
Back to the torture of lies

The perfect ones willingly died at the stake
And all of their followers slain
As for the knowledge of God they had claimed 
Religion's still burning inside 

[Repeat chorus, 3rd verse]

Templar believers with blood on their hands 
Joined in the chorus to kill on command 
Burned at the stake for their soul's liberty 
Still running herretics under our skies

As we kill them all so God know his own 
Laugh at the darkness and in god we trust 
The eye in the triangle smiling with sin 
No passover feast for the cursed within 

Facing the sun as they went to their grave 
Burn like a dog or you live like a slave 
Death is the price for your soul's liberty 
To stand with the cathars and to die and be free 

[Repeat chorus]
