The Phoenix Society
SEVEN
All seven and we'll watch them fall
They stand in the way of love
And we will smoke them all
With an intellect and a savior-faire
No one in the whole universe
Will ever compare1
I am yours now and you are mine
And together we'll love through all
Space and time, so don't cry
One day all seven will die
All seven and we'll watch them fall
They stand in the way of love
And we will smoke them all
With an intellect and a savoir-faire
No one in the whole universe
Will ever compare
I am yours now and you are mine
And together we'll love through all
Space and time, so don't cry
One day all seven will die
And I saw an angel come down unto me
In her hand she holds the very key
Words of compassion, words of peace
And in the distance an army's marching feet (one, two, three, four, one, two, three, four)
But behold, we will watch them fall
And we lay down on the sand of the sea
And before us animosity will stand and decree
That we speak not of love only blasphemy
And in the distance, six others will curse me
But that's alright (that's alright)
For I will watch them fall (one, two, three, four, five, six, seven)
All seven and we'll watch them fall
They stand in the way of love
And we will smoke them all
With an intellect and a savoir-faire
No one in the whole universe
Will ever compare
I am yours now and you are mine
And together we'll love through all
Space and time, so don't cry
One day all seven will die
(Just how old)
And we will see a plague and a river of blood
And every evil soul will surely die in spite of
And seven tears, but do not fear
Four in the distance, twelve souls from now
You and me will still be here we will still be here
There will be a new city with streets of gold
The young so educated they never grow old
And a, there will be no death four with every breath
A voice of many colors sings a song
That's so bold
Sing it while we watch them fall
All seven and we'll watch them fall
They stand in the way of love
And we will smoke them all
With an intellect and a savoir-faire
No one in the whole universe
Will ever compare
I am yours now and you are mine
And together we'll love through all
Space and time, so don't cry
One day all seven will die
(Just how old)
-- 7 by Prince
Perceived goal
Destroying elders around the country.
Real Goal
Though the Phoenix Society is not above doing away with an elder who gets in their path, its true goal is the elimination of the Justicars, who the Phoenix Society feels are responsible for the persecution of the anarchs.
Prince's song "7" is obviously out of place when it is played on a small easy listening/contemporary or classical radio station serving any given city. But then, its purpose is to get noticed. "7" is the calling card of one of the most feared anarch organizations. Its members use the popular song as a battle anthem. By playing it, the Society informs the Camarilla leaders that they are planning a strike within a city and challenges them to stop it.
The killing of elders and assassination attempts on Justicars, though more than enough to keep its members permanently on the Camarilla's Most Wanted list, are not the only activities in which the Phoenix Society engages. Because its members view the Camarilla's decrees against them as attempts to protect their persecutors, members of the Society do whatever they can to disrupt a prince's power in a city. The seriousness of these activities ranges from disabling his car to causing city-wide blackouts or explosions at major business areas.
The Camarilla does not seem to know for sure who is behind the Society, alternately blaming anarchs, Sabbat, Setites and anyone else with whom it presently conflicts. Certain Tradition Mages have been known to support it clandestinely. Setites also back its activities in a strange sort of alliance. Both favor corruption of the Camarilla cities and try to avoid interfering in the other's affairs. Finally, though no Sabbat claims to be a member of the Society, the sect keeps a close eye on it and may well have spies among its members.
