Jacques DeMolay


Jacques DeMolay

Last Grand Master of The Templar Knights

Another forgotten Martyr

Back broken on the rack

burned upon a fire stack

men, women, and children alike

flocked to The Isle

to gather the martyrs ashes

 

So, I hold ever before me

as a glorious example

the heroic fidelity

of the last Grand Master

 

He gave his life

in a torturous way

rather than betray

the knights he knew as brothers
