"In 1244 during the sacking of Montsegur two knights protecting the cathar heretics were entrusted with a mission. A vision appeared before the pair telling them to take and make safe a sacred artifact. The artifact reveals itself as part of a Roman lamp in the shape of a fish." Music by Charly Steinhauer Words by Peter Vogt What we see we see in harmony What we see we see in flame A vision not reality A spirit shape within the pyre Find the token, look past the fire It will be within these walls Shining it will guide us to it's part within this tale What secret it holds will be shown to all Now we must flee here Our work is done Saving these people Is beyond our power The end of our searching Has brought us to this A piece of a roman lamp A bright glowing relic in the shape of a fish This is the token to take into the night We must escape from the burning Our hearts sadly yearning Escape from the burning This was not our normal calling We were paid to stand and fight To leave this place without protection Would result in great loss of life Our plan to leave the mountain Would set us on a dangerous path First we must traverse the ramparts To caves that shield us in our flight Taking nothing but the relic We forged to clear our way Through swords and spears we fought Throughout the dying day We left all the holy people Who had no choice but to stay Our hearts were torn and sad As we passed them on our way On entering the darkening caves A guiding light shows us the way Our relic glows with ethereal flame The caves as light as day Not time to eat Not time to sleep We rushed on through the night Far from battle but far from safe no thought given to our deadly plight Racing through tunnels so narrow and tight No one to guide us save for the light Reaching for safety with each rasping breath Our journey mysterious with no end in sight On reaching the cave mouth deep in the night We rest to sustain ourselves for further flight We must escape from the burning Our hearts sadly yearning Escape from the burning
