Looking Down the Cross (Remastered)

作曲 : Dave Mustaine

作词 : Dave Mustaine

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

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

Maleviolently 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 gun to stop the 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

Your 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
