The cross moline (also cross anchory, French croix ancrée "anchor cross") is a form of heraldic cross.
The name derives from its shape, which resembles a millrind, moline being the Old French for a mill, the iron clamp of the upper millstone. It is very similar to one of the varieties of the "fer de moline" heraldic charge (literal French: "iron of a mill"), the forked tips of which however circle out slightly more, akin to the "cross recercelee". It is borne both inverted and rebated, and sometimes "saltirewise" (i.e. in the form of a saltire). When used as a mark of cadency it signifies an eighth son.
The cross moline is associated with St. Benedict of Nursia. As a result, it is widely used as an emblem by the monks and nuns of the Order of St. Benedict, which he founded.

What if we were alone would you be the same as
Yesterday in a crowded room
Well I'm not judgin' I'm just wonderin' why? just bein' you
And you can tell me it's not but I can see right through you
You're sayin' things
I've never heard
And this side of you I've
Never seen before
Where you been hidin'
Sister who are you
I know it's not easy
Bein' only you
And I know you now 'cause I now I know who you really are
Yes all along I was played
Had to keep this part of you
Far from me
But I knew you oh so completely yeah
I liked what I saw until you broke down those walls and let me see you
I know this sounds bad but I hope I'm not wastin' my time on you
'Cause you're doin' things
I've never seen
And this side of you is
Killin' me now
Where you been hidin'
Sister who are you
I know it's not easy
Bein' only you
But I know you now 'cause I now I know who you really are
Yes all along I was played
Where you been hidin'
Sister who are you
I know it's not easy
Bein' only you
And I know you now 'cause I now I know who you really are
Yes all along I was played
Where you been hidin'
'Cause I know it's not easy doin' what you do
And I know you now 'cause I now I know who you really are
Yes all along I was played
Yes all along I was played
