Looking Down The Cross (Remastered)Now before they take me and my blessed lifeNow you'll know why Deth was summoned here tonight I'll recall my perils; they'll kill me in pride No, I can't run away; there's no place to hide Whoa-oh... Though too much to live for, I owe enough to die Ask not for salvation, my death shall mean their lives Hatred and guilt, the altar they've built; high priests of sin Destiny, fate, the wicked one's gate beckoning you in Beckoning you in Down the walkways, through the blood-stained town Looking down the cross, bleeding from the crown Led to stay, to die beside the thieves Kill the king of the world to be And now to you, this will come a putrefying pestilence More noxious than the serpent's breath, malevolently destined More corrupt than the malice of Choronzon More disease than the wind of the moonlight sun Putrefaction you have caused, no need for confession Now you wish you had a god to stop your demolition Crushing the bones of the hundred-folds Swinging the judgement hammer Man, woman, child, no one is safe The heads of the dead are the banner And this was all you got, so don these broken wings The sands of time run out, bells of Hades ring Is this a nightmare to unhallow thy name? Smell of brimstone dancing in the flames No help now as you fulfill his task Chief of evil has got you by the ass Set free to sit upon the throne Just a dream? You're weeping all alone! Looking down the cross, speak no evil I'm looking down the cross, speak no evil Looking down the cross, speak no evil I'm looking down the cross, speak no evil Whoa-oh-oh... |
