Looking Down the Cross
[Solo - Mustaine]
Now before they take me and my blessed lifeNow you'll know why death was summoned here tonightI'll recall my perils they'll kill me in prideNo, I can't run away there's no place to hide
Though too much to live for I owe enough to dieAsk not for salvation my death shall mean their livesHatred and guilt the alter they've built, high priests of sinDestiny, fate the wicked ones gate beckoning you in
[Solo - Mustaine]
Down the walkways through the blood stained townLooking down the cross bleeding from the crownLed to slay, to die besides the thievesKill the king of the world to be
And now to you, this will come a putrefying pestilenceMore noxious than the serpent's breathmalevolently destinedMore corrupt than the malice of ChoronzonMore disease than the wind of the moonlight sun
Putrefaction you have caused no need for confessionNow you wish you had a God to stop your demolitionCrushing the bones of the hundredfoldsswinging the judgment hammerMan, woman, child no-one is safethe heads of the dead are the banner
And this was all you got so don these broken wingsSands of time run out, bells of Hades ringIs this a nightmare to un-hallow thy nameSmell of brimstone dancing in the flamesNo help now as you fulfill his taskChief of evil has got you by the assSet free to sit upon the throneJust a dream? You're weeping all alone
[Solo - Mustaine]
Looking down the cross, speak no evilI'm looking down the cross, speak no evil
