Barnabas - Auschwitz '87

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
