The entire song is an omage to the “Blind Dead Saga”, a series of low budget spanish horror flicks of the seventies, dedicated to an horde of undead blind templars (worshippers of a strange divinity of the seas, similar to Lovercraft’s Ancients), all directed by Amando De Ossorio. The movies of this...
[Verse 1]
We are the blind dead
No eyes inside our head
Our senses lead us to your nightmare
Centuries of death we wear
Pharaoh's cross in dust we bare
Immortal horses slowly ride us to you
[Chorus]
Through the black mist
They ride
Knights templar - arise
[Verse 2]
The shores unearthly dead
Mournful mothers chilled with dread
Leave their offspring to knights templar
They rise from the sea
At midnight for the prize you see
Tied to the post - a virgin screaming
[Chorus]
Through the black mist
They ride
Knights templar - arise - oh!
[Verse 3]
Into our castle led
Seagulls howling overhead
The ritual you face
You shall no after
Your blood we drink for eternity
Flesh unto the crabs we leave
And feed your heart unto Aquarian master
[Chorus]
Through the black mist
They ride
Knights templar - arise
