13th Of October 1307 Lyrics - Ancient Rites

The cause of the Templar's order 

Was beyond religion 

So brilliant their splendour 

So wealthy their order 

Channelling all esoteric knowledge 

Into one universal thought 

Innovating rituals behind closed doors 

Occult traditions as well hidden secrets 

Intelligence the reason of their rise 

(Intelligence the reason of their fall) 

13th of October 

Grandmaster Jacques De Molay 

Burned at the stake at "Ile de la Cit" 

A curse accompanying his last breath 

Within the year his enemies dead! 

Cultivating ideals so serene 

Created by minds far supreme
