Lyrics

With a cloak and a dagger
a shield and a bloodied hand
with holdings from Lyon to the Promised Land
Keep your secret safe my friend
keep your motives and methods dear
until the storm has passed
until the booted coast is clear

When you put on your knight shirt
and you've emptied your glass
you?re cool, you?re cool by the fire at last
Now there?s nothing to stop your scheme from coming to pass
You?re cool, you?re cool by the fire at last
when you?ve put on your Knight Shirt
and you?ve emptied your glass

Now you?re banking on progress
bidding your time
until her cup runs over
until your drunk with her wine
With a Virtruvian manifest
you?re an agent of the gnosis
the alchemist?s secret
the gods behind the neurosis

When you put on your knight shirt
and you've emptied your glass
you?re cool, you?re cool by the fire at last
Now there?s nothing to stop your scheme from coming to pass
You?re cool, you?re cool by the fire at last
when you?ve put on your Knight Shirt
and you?ve emptied your glass

You?re the cipher to crack the code
a Merovingian cup of solid gold
the keeper of the Grail
son of the rosy cross
the thousand year man
that time will validate
May your white horse run strong
and your spirit appreciate

When you put on your knight shirt
and you've emptied your glass
you?re cool, you?re cool by the fire at last
Now there?s nothing to stop your scheme from coming to pass
You?re cool, you?re cool by the fire at last
When you?ve put on your Knight Shirt
and you?ve emptied your glass
emptied your glass
