	Story Behind the Song Based on a legend of the Knights Templar, telling of a Lord of Sidon who broke his vow of chastity. His lover died, but being unable to contain himself he took her lifeless body. 9 months later, visions in a dream told him to dig up her grave - where he would find, on her crossed thigh bones, the skull of her unborn child. This skull - the 'Skull Of Sidon' - became a battle talisman; the knights believed that if they carried it into battle they could never be defeated... Lyrics Sworn into sacred code the knight did take his vow Brotherhood and chastity his pledge To God and order bound, no flesh desires nor woman's hand Must lead the knight astray, henceforth to his parting day To serve his brother knight till death Protect him to his final breath But to this Sidon Lord temptation did arise A maiden pure and fair of face In youth his lady died, yet passion couldn't be denied He sought her body thus, to satisfy his wicked lust And as her lifeless form he held Dreams to the Sidon lord did tell "Nine months have passed, since to ground she was cast Seek out the place where she rests On cross of thighbones her child's skull lies This holds the key to your quests" Take the skull and ride to battle, wield the mighty swords Raise the banner - "Beau Seant!" All hail the Templar lords Whilst the flag still flies above us we will heed the call Skull of Sidon, power protect us, we shall never fall Holy army, power and might Under flag of black and white Fighting for the glory of the throne No surrender, fear unheard To your brothers give your word "If I breathe you shall not fight alone" Guard of ten, kept apart To protect the beauseant Sacred symbol held aloft they see 3 to 1 and still they stand Truth to bring across the land Marching onward into victory Take the skull and ride to battle, wield the mighty swords Raise the banner - "Beau Seant!" All hail the Templar lords Whilst the flag still flies above us we will heed the call Skull of Sidon, power protect us, we shall never fall
