Verse 1
There was a strange sect back in the 1200s,
Cathars they were called by name.
They were among the Gypsies of southern Europe,
Their lifestyle brought them great fame.
They were Christians, real believers,
Drop-outs from the church of their day.
They rebelled from the old, their fate was foretold,
They were a threat to the established way.
They said ...
Chorus
"We're gonna come back in the time of the End,
Seven hundred years from now.
We're gonna come back and take over this world,
To God we make this vow."
Verse 2
They believed in loving freedom,
They were sweeping across the land.
With songs of love and the truth in their hearts,
Thousands joined their bands.
They sang, they danced, they played their guitars,
Their spirits shone like the sun.
It was plain to see they were winning the world,
And the Devil was on the run. They said ...
[Repeat Chorus]
Verse 3
The pope got so scared, he sent out an army
In the name of God Above.
He couldn't let them get any further,
So he massacred these children of love.
Before they died, they prophesied
They'd come back again.
"We'll return, to carry on,
In the time of the End!" They said ...
[Repeat Chorus]
Chorus 2
"We've come back, it's the time of the End
It's here and now!
We've come back to take over this world,
To God we make this vow!"
[Repeat Chorus 2 three times]
"To God we make this vow!"
