about

Montsegur was the final haven for the Cathars as they faced the inquisition in 1244. Over 200 were burnt for their beliefs in this one castle alone.

lyrics

We came from a land of the sun
We spoke a southern tongue
And in a time of fear and oppression
We searched for perfection
Every now and then comes an age
When the winds of change
Blow away the fogs of deception
To give a glimpse of perfection
From the crags of Montsegur
We questioned all we saw
All the dreams of gold
And the stories we sold

Question the morals of the age
Question the wars they wage
Question their god who made this life a prison
So far from perfection
And all that we believed
They called it heresy
Popes and princes, priests of perdition
Put an end to perfection
From the crags of Montsegur
We saw the men of war
Through the crops and the children they came
So many put to the flame

We come from a land long ago
Our tongue no longer known
And the walls where we died for perfection
A tourist attraction
