The Knight: |
|
The world I love is the world I lost |
|
Broken, plundered and wasted |
|
The memory burnt |
|
From the Soil and the Sun |
|
A black epitaph of the ages |
|
The Rose: |
|
The world you curse |
|
Is the one I love |
|
The Virgin a Whore |
|
In the Garden |
|
Crowned upon the Earth's ordure |
|
I bear no wounds |
|
And I bring no cure |
|
The Cross: |
|
Pain is where this world begins |
|
And pain is the heart of all endings |
|
Every pilgrim that bears |
|
This burden of truth |
|
Only the few have learnt to lose |
|
The Knight of the Rosy Cross: |
|
I curse the Father |
|
And I scourge the Son |
|
I burn down the Holy of Holies |
|
The One in Three |
|
And the Three in None |
|
The march of the proud Black Templar |
