Lyrics Looking Down The Cross - Megadeth

Looking Down The Cross

Now before they take me\nAnd my blessed life\nNow you’ll know why deth\nWas summoned here tonight\nI’ll recall my perils\nThey’ll kill me in pride\nNo, i can’t run away\nThere’s no place to hide\nThough too much to live for\nI owe enough to die\nAsk not for salvation\nMy deth shall mean their lives\nHatred and guilt the alter they’ve built\nHigh priests of sun\nDestiny, fate the wicked ones gate\nBeckoning you in\nDown the walkways\nThrough the blood stained town\nLooking down the cross\nBleeding from the crown\nLed to stay\nTo die besides the thieves\nKill the king\nOf the world to be\nAnd now to you, this will come\nA putrefying pestilence\nMore noxious than the serpents breath\nMale volenty destined\nMore corrupt than the malice of\nChoronzon\nMore disease than the wind\nOf the moonlight sun\nPutrefaction you’ve caused\nNo need for confession\nNow you wish you had a god\nTo stop your demolition\nCrushing the bones of the hundred folds\nSwinging the judgement hammer\nMan, woman, child no-one is safe\nThe heads of the dead are the banner\nAnd this was all you got\nSo don (?) these broken wings\nSands of time run out\nBells of hades ring\nIs this a nightmare\nTo unhallow thy name\nSmell of brimstone\nDancing in the flames\nNo help now\nAs you fulfill his task\nChief of evil\nHas got you by the ass\nSt free\nTo shaken the throne\nJust a dream?\nYour weeping all alone\nLooking down the cross\n(Speak no evil)\nI’m looking down the cross\n(Speak no evil)
