PARADOX lyrics : "700 YEARS ON"

[How the events of the 13th century are remembered today, and does it really have any boaring on today's society]

A country splintered by religion

Torn by anarchy
Heretics 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

Just 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
Persued
Burnt

Marched into the fire
Oh, then!
