[Verse 1]
Cold stone chapel
Guttering flame
Mud on my boots
Blood on my name
Scrolls on the altar
Sealed in wax
Oaths like chains across my back
[Chorus]
Vox templarius
(In the dark I answer)
Speak for the buried dust
(For the fallen lances)
Deus vult
But do You hear
Steel and psalter
Sweat and fear
Vox templarius
Broken
Yet I sing
[Verse 2]
April rain on rusted mail
Crow feathers caught in a shattered scale
Whispers in Latin
Counting scars
France at my feet
Eyes on the stars
[Chorus]
Vox templarius
(In the dark I answer)
Speak for the buried dust
(For the fallen lances)
Deus vult
But do You hear
Steel and psalter
Sweat and fear
Vox templarius
Broken
Yet I sing
[Bridge]
If I am judged by sword and flame
Remember my hunger more than my fame
Bread to the poor
Wine to the lame
Lord
Write that line beside my name
[Chorus]
Vox templarius
(In the dark I answer)
Speak for the buried dust
(For the fallen lances)
Deus vult
But do You hear
Steel and psalter
Sweat and fear
Vox templarius
Broken
Yet I sing
