Through the flames had drowned the voices of the defending knights The rumours of innocence stayed persistently alive The pope and the king still driven by their greed blood-stained Sought to abolish the order by seizing de Molay A small island on the river Seine The Notre Dame glanced at a stand with two stakes The Grandmaster and his companion Were to face a slow d**h at the stake Their villains saw to the best discretion Only few people believed the malicious claims Bound in chains the proud old man climbed up to the stand
Followed to a horrid d**h by an old friend With a firm and clear voice he retracted his confession Telling there was a conspiracy behind the accusations Again in the Paris air The stench of roasting Templar flesh The flames were made to burn slowly To enhance the agony of their d**h At his very last moment Turned de Molay to the king and the pope "Within a year you will pay for your crime within a year you will burn in Hell"
