Heresy Lyrics

Heresy lyrics

[From the 11th to the 13th century a particular religious sect was allowed to
grow in the Languedoc region of France. Called Catharism this dualist thinking
religion flourished, not only with the poor but also people like the Counts of
Toulouse and the great Esclarmonte of Foix. In the early part of the 13th
century the Pope petitioned the king to form. a crusade and vanquish the
heretics. This petitioning finally led to the Albigensian Crusade. A force of
Knights and Mercenaries besieged the Cathars and in a massive pyre at Montsegur
massacred some 200 of them virtually eliminating Catharism in Southern
France]



Heresy



The beginning.

How the believers of the dualist theory turned there backs on Catholicism

and found their own methods of embracing God



They started on a distant shore

The rich believing with the poor

Fighting, striving hard to seek

A higher power with something else to say



Spreading their belief

Praying for a life

It's the perfect way

But to the church it's just called heresy



Heresy



Heretics, that and nothing more

Daring to renege on our Gods law

It's wrong for them to feel this way

Detrimental for the soul

Help them through this time

Disregard these lies



They say the perfect way

But to the church it's just called heresy

Heresy

Yeah Choose!



Cathars gaining more control

The choice is free, us or holy Rome

Join with us you'll see the light

We have a holy Right



It's the perfect way

But to the church it's just called heresy

Heresy, heresy, heresy

Choose!
