looking down the cross

now before they take me

and my blessed life

now you'll know why death

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 alter they've built

high priests of sin

destiny

fate the wicked ones gate

beckoning you in

down the walkways

through the blood stained town

looking down the cross

bleeding from the crown

led to stay

to die besides the thieves

kill the king

of the world to be

and now to you

this will come

a putrefying pestilence

more noxious than the serpents breath

malevolently destined

more corrupt than the malice of

choronzon

more disease than the wind

of the moonlight sun

putrefaction you've 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 judgment 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 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

i'm looking down the cross
