From the album 'Le chant des Templiers'. Mid 12th century chants, surviving from Basilica of Jerusalem here it is being sung in an attempt to imitate the Templars' chanting. Note the regular pulsating tone. The stone the builders rejected has become the cornerstone; the Lord has done this, and it is marvelous in our eyes'?
Lyrics: Die Eisenfaust am Lanzenschaft, Die Zügel in der Linken, So sprengt des Reiches Ritterschaft, Und ihre Schwerter blinken. Heja, heja, heja! Heja, Und ihre Schwerter blinken. Heja, heja, heja! Heja, Und ihre Schwerter blinken. Das Balkenkreuz, das schwarze, fliegt Voran auf weißem Grunde: Verloren zwar, doch unbesiegt. So klingt uns seine Kunde. Heja, heja, heja! Heja! So klingt uns seine Kunde. Heja, heja, heja! Heja! So klingt uns seine Kunde. Es flattert hell im Morgenwind, Und grüßt die Grenzenlande, Grüßt die, die uns're Brüder sind, Trotz Schmach und Not und Schande. Heja, heja, heja! Heja! Trotz Schmach und Not und Schande. Heja, heja, heja! Heja! Trotz Schmach und Not und Schande. Es fliegt voraus im Ritterkleid, Und mahnet uns zu streiten, Für die verlor’ne Herrlichkeit, Drum Wimpel flieg, wir reiten. Heja, heja, heja! Heja! Drum Wimpel flieg, wir reiten. Heja, heja, heja! Heja! Drum Wimpel flieg, wir reiten. English translation: The iron fist on the lance shaft, The reins on the left, That’s how the Empire’s knighthood advances, And their swords are flashing, Heja, heja, heja! Heja! And their swords are flashing. Heja, heja, heja! Heja! And their swords are flashing. The cross pattee, in black it flies, Forward on a white background, Lost but undefeated, That’s how it announces its message. Heja, heja, heja! Heja! That’s how it announces its message. Heja, heja, heja! Heja! That’s how it announces its message. It flutters bright in the morning breeze, And greets the borderlands, Greets those who are our brethren, In spite of humiliation and shame. Heja, heja, heja! Heja! In spite of humiliation and shame. Heja, heja, heja! Heja! In spite of humiliation and shame. It flies ahead in knight’s dress, And encourages us to fight, For the lost glory, Therefore, fly pennants, we ride. Heja, heja, heja! Heja! Therefore, fly pennants, we ride. Heja, heja, heja! Heja! Therefore, fly pennants, we ride.
