700 Years On Lyrics

"How the events of the 13th century are
Remembered today, and does it really have
Any bearing on today society"

A country splintered by religion
Torn by anarchy
Herretics burned for their derision
Of the holy See

Seven, Hundred Years on
World, do you recall
Just what happened then
Gentlemen and Gentlewomen
Let into the pyre

Seven, Hundred Years ago
Let's think
Images of war

Flashing swords, burning homes
The Albigensian Crusade
See the ruins upon the hills
Just seven hundred Years on

So now in nineteen eighty nine
How much do we know
Except for learned scholars
No-one knows at all

Blind
Apathy
Forgotten
A part of history

Flashing swords, burning homes
The Albigensian Crusade
See the ruins upon the hills
Lust seven hundred Years on

To blind to see that religion's free
Believe what you believe
Established Churches still don't agree
Seven hundred Years on

Heresy a different route
From mother church in Rome
See us, we're hurting no-one
Why can't you leave us alone

Hunted
Pursued
Burnt
Marched into the fire
Oh then!
