Check out the lyric video for Red Shield. Telling a tale of 'insider trading' over 200 years old which still has repercussions to this day.
RED SHIELD
Hexagram above a counting house is where Red Shield began
To control the banks of Europe, the beginning of the plan
Eighteen-Fifteen, London, Red Shield played the Stock Exchange
Couriers passed through blockades carrying post, it was arranged
News from the Battle of Waterloo came with twenty-four hours to spare
Red Shield workers sold consuls and the stock brokers got scared
Traders bought the ruse and sold their bonds at speed
Red Shield nodded as the value dropped and the morning headlines read
"Napoleon defeated", followed by the British economy
To open the door to domination, the centre of the financial world was key
Beware the Red Shield and their armour made of gold
Beware the Red Shield in this world they've bought and sold
Red Shield built the Bank of England and set about some loans
Caring not which puppet sat upon the English throne
The man who controls the money supply makes the safest bets,
taking control of the Empire on which the sun don’t set
Kings and queens in pocket, opposition almost gone
If the matriarch’s sons didn't want war then there would be none
As the plan continued a few lone voices would shout
“They are a den of thieves and vipers, they need routing out”
Confined to legend, over blueprints roll their plastic tanks
Two-hundred years later and counting, Red Shield still runs the banks
Beware the Red Shield, their swords passed to young and old
Beware the Red Shield in this world they've bought and sold
Beware the Red Shield, their hearts are rich and cold
Beware the Red Shield in this world they've bought and sold
