Crystal Night
Master Plan Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
When they shout that hymn
Marching so brave
Their hearts beat on holdly right
Their souls belong to those of the weak
Walking so blinded
Surrounded by brown coated lies
Bleed for the master race
We're not under the same nation
The past has gone, don't fear the new
It's your only chance, your only salvation
Why should we blond and blue-eyed
Chanting a 'heil', living a lie
Evil surrounds us, we lost our way
Darkness will lead us through fire and hell
We're not waving the same flag
Or going down the same road
So use your brains, just for one time
You can't rule mankind
We're not under the same nation
The past has gone, don't fear the new
It's your only chance, your only salvation
No no we don't want it, never more
We won't take it, like before
Crystal night, never more
We're not under the same nation
The past has gone, don't fear the new
It's your only chance, your only salvation
We're not under the same nation
The past has gone, don't fear the new
It's your only chance, your only salvation
No no we don't want it, never more
We won't take it, like before
Crystal night, never more
Never more, like before
No never more
The lyrics of the song "Crystal Night" by Master Plan is a powerful portrayal of the evils of Nazi ideology and racism. The song begins by questioning why people turn away from the reality of the fascist state and its atrocities. The marching of the brown coated soldiers with their slogans and propaganda is a reminder of the manipulation and brainwashing that people are exposed to. The song points out that the souls of the weak belong to the state, and they are blindly following dangerous and misguided beliefs.
The chorus of the song is a warning that people need to awaken to the changing times and embrace a new path to salvation. The song highlights the dangers of blindly following leaders and ideologies, where people are at risk of losing themselves and their humanity. The use of the term "Crystal Night" is a reference to the infamous Kristallnacht, a pogrom against Jewish communities that took place in Nazi Germany in November 1938. The song, therefore, serves as a stark reminder of the dangers of hatred and the need for individuals to resist the allure of dangerous ideologies and propaganda.
