Knights of the Cross

This is the fascinating tale of the Templars, probably the most powerful and mysterious organisation of the Middle Ages. The Order of the Poor Knights of Christ and the Temple of Solomon originate from a group of nine aristocrats, whose sole aim was the protection of the Holy Land from the Saracens. So, let us undertake a journey into the past, back to the origin, rise and fall of the Order of the Templars. A journey, which will lead us to the legendary world of the Knights of the Cross.

Revolution in their minds - the children start to march Against the world in which they have to live and all the hate that's in their hearts They're tired of being pushed around and told just what to do They'll fight the world until they've won and love comes flowing through Children of tomorrow live in the tears that fall today Will the sun rise up tomorrow bringing peace in any way? Must the world live in the shadow of atomic fear? Can they win the fight for peace or will they disappear? So you children of the world, listen to what I say If you want a better place to live in spread the words today Show the world that love is still alive you must be brave Or you children of today are Children of the Grave, Yeah!
