The Knights Templar
The Poor Knights of the Temple of Solomon
Sons and fathers set forth and bold
Secret, sacred, seeking for hold
Probity and grand bannered bare
Hand by hand formation in care
The white mantled red cross crest
Secret, sacred, seeking for hold
Probity and grand bannered bare
Hand by hand formation in care
The white mantled red cross crest
Cross the sands as called or pressed
Law or less as is theft or quest
Reason and wonder; truth and dare
Sons and fathers
Possessed, and suppressed, bought or sold
Spill the wine; all the tales that told
Silver and gold or holy stair
Codes, credit, power and prayer
Throughout the world a trail left cold
Sons and fathers
