Megadeth - Looking Down the Cross lyrics
[Megadeth - Looking Down the Cross lyrics]
Woah oh, yeah
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 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
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 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
