Pawns in the Game Songtext

von The Templars

Charging down the field with shield and lance in hand
Showing no mercy to your foes, gloriously defending your land
Doing deeds for the church, no idea that your being used
While false charges are devised the Templar knights stand accused

CHORUS
Warrior priests, so trusting and so brave
Put to an end and left in shame
Church officials, like politicians
Always seeking pawns in their game.....their game

Your powerful control over Europe is what they'll always desire
Being the biggest threat, you're put to brimstone and fire
All the deeds done in their name, that doesn't really matter
What matters is power and wealth, making their pockets fatter

CHORUS

1118 to 1312 your grip is strong over the land
We praise your warriors and your deeds
And the tales of glory, so numerous indeed!....indeed!
Now it's 1994, we remember your fate so well
Honoring religious bastards whose leaders now reside in hell
Churches act as factions, they use, abuse and throw away
You'll never be forgotten, spirits in our hearts you'll remain
