1. LAMENT

(Instrumental)


2. MEET ME AT MIDNIGHT

Tonight we’ll be together
At last baby its true
Tonight we’re leaving forever
I’ll be waiting for you
Hold on – just a few hours
Don’t cry – I know how you feel,
Hold on – freedom is ours,
This time its for real…
In the night we will sip away.

I know you have been waiting,
So long – so out of sight
I know your heart is breaking
Baby please,
Meet me in midnight

Reach out – I know your lonely,
Darling believe when I say,
Reach out – baby we only,
A heartbeat away…
Close your eyes – I will be there.

I don’t care if it rains all year,
We’ll be a thousand miles from here,
I don’t care if our love’s on trial,
Tomorrow we’ll be the running wilds

I know you have been waiting,
So long – so out of sight
I know your heart is breaking
Baby please,
Meet me in midnight

Meet me tonight


3. EXILE

When their journy began it was so close to dawn
Moonlight was still in the skies
So nobody knew and no-one could see
The sorrow yet love in their eyes

Maybe they hoped or maybe they prayed
That someday their people would learn
The truth of their lives and escape to the west
From where they could never return

In the heat of the day and the cold of the night
No-one was counting the cost
Of so many roads and so many miles
And so many wounds from the cross

Two lonely souls on a journey for life
Living their dream to be free
Did guidance divine lead them to where
The mountains reach down to the sea ?

In those days when our nations were young
No-one could surely have known
How the lives of two people in love
Could be shrouded in tears for two thousand years
And all for a place to call home

They had to be strong in so many ways
Dividing the truth from the lies
To some they were strangers journeying west
But some saw the light in their eyes

Icons appeared at the places they stayed
Statues of of mother and child
Love had shone through in a world full of hate
When a young face of innocence smiled ...

In those days when our nations were young
No-one could surely have known
How the lives of two people in love
Could be shrouded in tears for two thousand years
And all for a place to call home

In those days when our nations were young
No-one could surely have known
How the lives of two people in love
Could be shrouded in tears for two thousand years
And all for a place to call home
And all for a place to call home


4. THE ORDER

You are the order
The bringer and keeper and peace
Friends of the pilgrims
Whose dreams live here in the east

White is your mantle, and red the cross that you bear
Brothers forever, guarding the secrets you share
Here in the shadows, or hiding your face in the crowd
Watching and waiting, silent yet noble and proud

Eyes of a stranger
With only a second to know
Whether your seeing
The face of a friend or a foe ?
Though you're alone in the eyes of the old, they will atone for the lies they told

Destiny has called your name
With the sword you live to fight
For the lord you holy knights

You are the order, bearing the sign of the cross
Fighting for freedom, before the freedom is lost

Heaven is watching
Praying your valour is true, friends of the pilgrims
So much depending on you.
Though you're alone in the eyes of the old
The hand of god has touched your soul
Destiny has brought you here
Let your faces see the light
Let your voices touch the sky

Though you're alone in the eyes
Of the old, they will atone for the lies they told
Destiny has called your name
Let your faces see the light
Let your voices touch the sky
With the sword you live to fight
For the lord you holy knights


5. MILITUM CHRISTI

(Instrumental)


6. MARY

Special day…special story,
I believe all that I saw… the glory,
When she came, a figure from the past,
Mary the fallen child… free again,
Free and running wild.

We all saw the vision with tears in our eyes
A beautiful woman, no angel in disguise!
She spoke of her memories with happiness and pain,
We asked where her home was, and she said, "magdalene".

Mary let me try just another day with you,
Mary tell me why you always denied the truth?

She told us the answers.. she laughed when we cried,
Her words and her stories just made us sad inside,
She gave us the reasons for things we ought to know,
All locked in the secrets that we lost long ago.

Mary let me try just another night with you,
Mary tell me why you always denied the truth?
…You need loving too.

Spread the word. But keep the secret,
Turn the key deep in to your heart… but don't forget,
Count the years, the hours and the days,
Follow her guiding hand…
Reaching out… then we'll understand.

Through the cold days of winter,
Through the warm passing of spring…think of her,
Then hold your breath when mid-sommer comes,
Mary the fallen child may return
…Free and running wild!

Fighting for the pilgrims.
Who never know our name,
Every day the danger,
Every day the same,
But we have something special,
Something deep inside,
Mary is our future,
Mary is our guide…

Now I know she is with me.
Every step I take,
Watching from the shadows.
Every move I make,
Mary if you hear me,
Heed the Templars cry,
Every since I met you,
I get lonely in the night….

Mary do you know just much you mean to me?
And how can I show the whole of the worlds you're free?

All my life will remain just a memory of you,
Mary Magdalene… you can't deny
…The tears that you cry,
No you'll never deny the truth
…You need loving too.


7. VIVE DIEU... SAINT AMOUR

Be on guard… the devil is at work.
Vive dieu… saint amour…
Remember the words and the tones,
The tree of life,
The sword and the stones.
Prieure de Sion,
Protect the tree of life,
Prieure de sion,
Vive dieu… saint amour…
Heed the vow upon the sacred elm,
Protect his blood.
The line into his realm.
Vive dieu… saint amour…


8. THE POWER & THE GLORY

Time could not enslave,
The holy and brave,
Knight of the lord.
Men destined to be,
Soldiers supreme,
Bible and sword.
No castle of stone,
Kingdom of throne,
Stood in the way,
The favors were sold.
Pieces of gold.
Fortune of kings
But when constracts are made,
Debt must be paid… or
Vultures will sigh,
So the order was news
For christians and jews.
Sultan and slaves.

Legend or lies,
Truth or disguise,
Ever their story was told,
Of knights who were free,
To prosper and see,
Power and glory unfold,
From secrets they never sold.

While burning the flame,
Fortune and frame,
Came hand in hand.
From so close to home,
And emperors of rome,
To the holy land
So more debts were raised,
More interest paid,
With every crusade


9. CHAIN REACTION

Open your eyes, what do you see?
Such a surprise, the devil in me?
Taking my time, your bound to please,
Now what your mine do you believe…

No one will ever break these chains,
Now that your masters at the reins,
No more fun and games!

Body ad soul, leather and steel.
Under control, How does it feel?
Maybe it’s cruel to treat you this way,
But I make the rules, I’ll make you pay…

No one will ever break these chains,
Freedom is lost when hell restrains,
Watch me fan the flames!

Now your in my hands,
You will bow to me.
Do you understand?
All the world can see…

No one will ever break these chains,
Now that your masters at the reins,
Freedom is lost when hell restrains,
So… no one will ever break these chains!


10. VOX IN EXCELSO

Long lost days
I remember so well
Evil ways
Caught within your spell
Pilgrim friends
Is there sadness or shame
As your reign ends
With a signing of a name ?

Though they say
You're the guardians of truth
Night from day
Do demons dance with you ?
Will we yearn
Your death as a loss ?
Questions burn
Every time I see the cross ...

Oh lord what have I done ?
How will time remember me ?
Only as ice in the sun
Fading like an enemy ... on the run

Long lost days
For you saviours of kings
No refrain
Lies waiting in the wings
Signed and sealed
There's no turning the tide
Still I feel
Guilty deep inside

Oh lord what have I done ?
How will time remember me ?
Only as ice in the sun
Fading like an enemy ... on the run


11. WHERE WAS THEIR GOD ?

You will never find us,
Or the treasure that you seek,
Brothers who escaped you,
Are forever out of reach,
You will never capture,
The knowledge that they hold,
Never kill the spirit in their soul.

When I die tomorrow,
Nothing dies with me,
Secrets of our order,
Nor stones of destiny,
Still I feel the sorrow,
For the many knights who died,
Slain beneath the evil of your lies!

So where was their god?
So many men yet so alone,
If life was fair god,
They could've been going home…

Phillip - king of diamonds,
And 'puppet pope' in hand,
How you both have fallen,
For the weakness of man.
Greed will be your witness,
When judgement day arrives,
Standing like a shadow by your sides
Where was their
Curse you both forever!
I challenge you to stand,
True before you maker,
Trial of god and man,
Will you dare to honour,
Those souls who served you well,
Before you take that lonely road to hell?

So where was their god?
So many men yet so alone,
If life was fair god,
They could've been going home…


12. PRIORY OF ZION

Who could have ever believed
How the worm would turn?
Who could have ever conceived,
How their world would burn away?
How did the knowledge survive,
In their hearts and minds?
Keeping the secret alive.
There for us to find… today.
Living through a thousand years,
Just waiting for a sign,
Everyday a thousand years,
Upon the sands of time… maybe yours and mine?

Destiny answered a call,
With that first crusade,
Watching jerusalem fall
Careful plans were laid… for him.
There in the temple of light,
Safe from sight or sound,
Under the shadow of night,
Final proof was found… for him.
So upon that holy hill,
They took the sacred vow,
Now a thousand years and still,
Zion "lives" somehow…

They gave us hope, they gave us truth,
Now it's up to you and me,
How we live with our belief,
And what we chose to see,
In the secrets they have told,
How the passion burns!
Will we all rejoice as one,
When a royal king returns…?

Secret ways… cloak and veil,
Holy blood… holy grail,
Sands of time… hold the key,
Kingdom come… for all to see.

Living through a thousand years,
Just waiting for a sign
Everyday a thousand tears,
Upon the sands of time…
