Behind the Crooked Cross Lyrics by Sabbat (UK)

History of a Time to Come

1988

One man - one vision
Racial purity
Madman or magician? A mystery to me
He who scorns the teachings of
Blavatsky count the cost
There's more than superstition
Hides behind the crooked cross
Our destiny in prophecy -
We learn by our mistakes
Through each strata of society -
The poison infiltrates
Adding hatred to the embers -
'till the fire burns out of hand
To spread the black cloud swiftly -
'cross our 'Green and Pleasant Land'
Security in ignorance
Out of sight is out of mind
While children weep on city streets -
The blind deceive the blind
(They say) 'Welcome your lost brother
All he touches turns to gold'
Yet my 'brother' tries to kill me -
Out of love so I am told
My blood with yours shall mingle
Our spirits unify
If our hearts are joined as one
We shall never die
Now the 'Dove of Peace' lies dead
Upon this land our fathers bled
And 'Drakes Drum' lies deserted on the sand
I see the keepers of the peace -
Hacked to pieces in the streets
Victims of the 'brotherhood of man'
History repeats itself - of this fact I am sure
Stupidity defeats us if its lessons we ignore
So heed these words of warning
Before it is too late
To preach the 'New Religion' -
The philosophy of hate
My blood with yours shall mingle
Our spirits unify
If our hearts are joined as one
We shall never die
Now the 'Dove of Peace' lies dead
Upon this land our fathers bled
And 'Drakes Drum' lies deserted on the sand
I see the keepers of the peace -
Hacked to pieces in the streets
Victims of the 'brotherhood of man'
[Guitar Solo]
One man's condition - pure insanity?
A nation's submission - embracing destiny
Driven by compulsion - powered by the Vril
Do not mock the Crooked Cross - its power is growing still
Its power is growing still
Ein Volk, ein Reich, ein Führer
Behind the crooked cross
