Iron Maiden - Montsgur lyrics

[Gers / Harris / Dickinson] I stand alone in this desolate space In d**h they are truly alive Ma**acred 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 k** 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 k** 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 k** on command Burned at the stake for their soul's liberty Still running heretics under our skies As we k** 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 pa**over feast for the cursed within Facing the sun as they went to their grave Burn like a dog or you live like a slave d**h is the price for your soul's liberty To stand with the cathars and to die and be free [Repeat chorus]
