Knights Templar Stand

Monastic order
Direction: Outremer
Established to protect
Pilgrimages there
Vow of poverty
Noble sons
Granted headquarters
The temple of Solomon
Constructing strongholds
Strategic garrisons
Financing the crusades
Military monks
Sharpened broadswords
Obvious cruciform
White sur-coats mitigate
The hot Levant sun
Steaming stallions
Warhorses snort
Rumbling splendor
Mounted cohort
Furious ram
Faith and might
Merciless charge
God on their side
Lances smashing
Infidel ranks
Deafening onslaught
Knights templar stand
Bonded brethren
By the oath they’ve sworn
Gallant saviors
Hold off the saracen swarm
Valiant martyrs' death
Amidst the heathen pack
Rather suicide
Than to fall back
