The stampede is felt in the guts of the flock

Initiates fret of the danger racing near

The high priest abandons his commencement rite

Discovery by the False Templars his worst fear

The door swings open, a knight looms

Steelclad with cross on virgin white

Wolfishly grinning he surveys

spatting a vengeful declaration

This place must be sanctified here this night

With your false god you defile our master

Pray to him now as you watch your comrades

Fall in the glare of flashing steel

Esoterika

Of the hidden temple

Accolade blades sing

In this secret slaughter tonight

(Solo: Knight)

Chaos ensues, the invaders attack

The blood that is shed defiles this holy place

In horror affiliates die by the blade

A red wave of carnage surges through the hall

Rogues of a violent lineage

Disgracing morals divine and sacred

They came here to conjure their deity

To slay and conduct the incantation

The sage has been spared by the master’s command

Along with these maids now chained and shackled

Bound him but be sure to keep him at hand

Lest we be cursed when our backs are turned

Esoterika

Of the ravaged temple

Hear the sword blades sing

serenades of slaughter tonight

A sword point at your throat chakra

This encroachment is your test

Prove yourself as a knight of honor

Protect the healed, your souls are wed

Sage of honor, True Templar

You must utilize the alchemical spark within

You are the sword

Strike with your heart and mind

(Solo: Salatellis)

By clearing your mind and invoking

The sacred geometry prowess in you

Chivalry won by attuning to

The frequency of the Cosmic Hero

Come, Forth, Now…

Prepare this place for the conjuration

Soon, There’ll, Be…

Much time for wine and libations

Esoterika

Of the sacred temple

Neutral angels sing

Ancient hymns of triumph tonight

I am The Knight! The Winter Triumphant Knight!

The True Knights of Metal We Hail!!!

(Solo: Knight)
