Saturn's Children Lyrics
Crucified by the sun,
In the shadow of the iron cross,
Saturn's children come,
Invoke the supercoven.
Many armed we strike,
Like wolves in the night,
And the cross turns to black....
And the children of the sun,
Know their time has come,
Give up the fight, slip back into the night....
Turn off your mind, there's nothing to find....
Find out here....
In the shadow of the iron cross,
Saturn's children come,
Invoke the supercoven.
Like wolves in the night,
And the cross turns to black....
Know their time has come,
Give up the fight, slip back into the night....
Find out here....

my favorite doom song of all time. no contenders.
This song is about the Children of Saturn (the planet that is supposed to have a negative influence on humans) rising up and becoming aware of their true nature which is to fight against the "Iron Cross". This is a different way of looking at the Cross Of Christianity as an iron-clad ruling dictatorship that the free-thinking peoples are fighting against. This is pure poetic license. Christianity itself is not bad, but how it has been perverted (or become an "iron cross", or "unforgiving", which IS against the true nature of what Christianity is supposed to be) is what Saturn's Children are fighting against in this song. The vocalist is saying "Turn Off Your Mind, THere's Nothing To Find, Nothing to Find Out Here" is a way of saying, you have been lied to, and have been labeled as Children Of Negativity, when in fact you are just fighting against oppression, or the Iron Cross (the sub-text of which is to suggest Nazism). Get it ??
Maybe my favorite Electric Wizard song. Blissfully long and melancholy. The guitar soloing or melodic parts are truly beautiful and done absolutely perfectly. Best ending for any song or album ever.
