Looking Down the Cross - Remastered

Now before they take me and my blessed life

Now 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

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

Sands of time run out, bells of Hades ring

Is this a nightmare to un-hallow 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)
