Auschwitz '87 Lyrics - Barnabas

Waiting in the shadows; striking from behind 

An evil genius orchestrates a plague against mankind 

Rabid dogs surround him, so quick to emulate 

The voice from hell which casts its spell 

And fans the flames of hate 

Europe knelt before him, the Empire at his feet 

The innocent were cruelly spent in orgies of deceit 

Deeper now than ever, the depravity of men 

So those who think those days are gone had better think again 

While a blemished flock plans an easy escape 

Tucked away safely in heaven 

The world awaits her violent fate 

Auschwitz '87 

Unmindful of the millions who will die at his decree 

A velvet-tongued destroyer will arise from troubled seas 

His global plan is ready and waiting to begin 

The western guard lies sleeping while a Trojan horse slips in 

So we render unto Caesar 'till we're rendered penniless 

Unmindful of the warnings, we increase our negligence 

Sharper now than ever, the sword of Damocles 

The noose grows ever tighter on a drugged democracy 

While a blemished flock plans an easy escape... 

Unmindful of the torment of butchered, unborn sons 

Stabbing deep within the womb, the carnage has begun 

The fuse burns ever shorter, through phony, worthless talks 

Holocaust escaping from Pandora's lead-lined box 

Saviour high in heaven, look down upon your bride 

Tiny men, yet precious gems for whom you bled and died 

Father high in heaven, we praise You through Your Son 

Refine your people in the fire that surely has begun 

While a blemished flock plans an easy escape 

Tucked away safely in heaven 

The world awaits her violent fate 

Auschwitz '87
