Umm. With phrases like "new world order", "rose and cross", "cornerstone", "rituals and secrets", "brotherhood" etc., this can only be about the wondrous mystique of the phenomenon known as Scientology. Ok, just kidding, it is clearly referencing secret societies that are known or rumored to have emerged from only the highest degrees of many of the world's freemasonic lodges and other similar fraternal traditions or orders. I don't claim to know the exact inspiration or their interpretation, but if you check out Dan Brown's novels, Manly P. Hall's works, Jordan Maxwell's or Michael Tsarion's conspracy theory tirades, or even just The History Channel's programs on freemasonry, you will get one of many interpretations of "The Craft". I know, no one cares. I am going to go back to playing D & D alone while playing with myself in my parents' basement and watching The Phantom Menace. That's what this song means to me.
