Als Catars - Lemuria[00:00:01]
Written by:Vincent Pichal/Siegfried Mercelis[00:00:03]
The last bastion the last icon of resistance has fallen[00:00:31]
In the ten months of siege the small garrison never[00:00:35]
Stood a chance[00:00:37]
And shorthanded[00:00:39]
Hungry and numb with cold[00:00:40]
Their surrender was[00:00:43]
Close at hand[00:00:43]
Yet clemency was given to all those who renounced their[00:00:46]
Beliefs[00:00:48]
For the others a fiery fate awaited them[00:00:50]
An armistice of fourteen days was granted to convince them[00:00:53]
Of the one true faith[00:00:57]
And the omens were right[00:00:59]
For king and for god[00:01:03]
The eagles nest suppressed[00:01:06]
A victory born in pain[00:01:10]
The war now finished at last[00:01:14]
By the powers from above[00:01:18]
Undisturbed[00:01:21]
Determined undaunted[00:01:22]
For the `cross and the crusade[00:01:25]
I had to give up for my people[00:01:31]
Hunger and thirst[00:01:35]
Forced me to surrender[00:01:36]
My fortress was a refuge for the good[00:01:38]
But with the treason of toulouse we never stood a[00:01:41]
Chance[00:01:44]
It was beyond my power[00:01:46]
Their intolerant policy[00:01:49]
For indulgence and tyranny[00:01:52]
Blood of child and woman sticks to their hands[00:01:54]
Oh Lord we'll meet you soon[00:01:57]
Dispelled by defenders of the flesh[00:02:00]
But never have we sighed in the face of death[00:02:04]
With hand on the heart we'll meet our end[00:02:07]
Never[00:02:10]
Never[00:02:11]
Shall we surrender to a wrong god[00:02:13]
Ever[00:02:16]
Forever[00:02:18]
The last step on the way home[00:02:19]
Now follow me my children[00:02:26]
Don't fear the fire don't linger be brave[00:02:29]
We have made a vow and can't go back[00:02:32]
The mercy of god will guide us through[00:02:35]
Look[00:02:39]
They're preparing the pyres[00:02:40]
With straw and wood[00:02:43]
Where our houses once stood[00:02:46]
The blood of innocence sticks to their hands[00:02:48]
Our spirits will be finally free[00:02:51]
Back to the place where they belong[00:02:55]
Have pity on them for they don't see[00:02:58]
Trust our father he'll make us strong[00:03:01]
Never[00:03:04]
Never[00:03:06]
Shall we surrender to a wrong god[00:03:07]
Ever[00:03:11]
Forever[00:03:12]
The last step on the way home[00:03:14]
And on the 15th of march the catholic army entered[00:03:19]
The fortress of montsngur[00:03:22]
And captured the inhabitant heretics[00:03:25]
The morning after they were led downhill and executed[00:03:28]
The quiet murmuring of their prayers was drown out by[00:03:32]
The igniting fire beneath their feet[00:03:35]
And then[00:03:37]
No sound was heard[00:03:39]
But tears and sorrow[00:03:41]
By then[00:03:46]
Resistance had fallen but a small group had[00:03:47]
Escaped the enclosure of montsngur[00:03:50]
Carrying with them[00:03:52]
The heretic[00:03:54]
Treasure[00:03:54]
They fled to the surrounding woods hid in caves and[00:03:56]
Traveled by night[00:04:00]
Their only assignment to find a safe haven for their[00:04:02]
Secret and forbidden words[00:04:05]
Never[00:04:40]
Never[00:04:42]
Shall we surrender to a wrong god[00:04:43]
Ever[00:04:46]
Forever[00:04:48]
The last step on the way home[00:04:50]
