Black Spider Flag
Christian wrote the music and asked Mattias if he had any lyrics in mind that would suit the tune. The Austrian election, with the Jörg Haider and his right-wing party winning a frightening majority of the votes, took place while IA watched Sound of Music. A quite ugly parallell between WW2 and the racist/facist/ignorant shit Haider stand for sprung to Eklundh´s mind. All of a sudden "The Black Spider Flag" (the Swastika) didn't seem so far away. "Edelweiss, edelweiss, what's happening?".
Lyrics:
Nice place to live?
I am not so sure...
A nation of denial
Scared and insecure

That rotten smell
Of ignorance
See the little people
Dance the swastika dance

Edelweiss, oh edelweiss
What's happening?
The black spider flag waves again

Edelweiss, oh edelweiss
What's happening?
The black spider flag raves again

You have learned real well
To indoctrinate
Puppet Neanderthals
Raised on hate

Let's climb the Alps
Of conservatism
See the little people
Propose a toast to racism

Edelweiss, oh edelweiss
What's happening?
The black spider flag waves again

Edelweiss, oh edelweiss
What's happening?
The black spider flag raves again

Album: "Dead Soul Men"
