Looking Down the Cross (Remastered) - Megadeth
Lyricist：Dave Mustaine
Composer：Dave Mustaine
Woah
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
Woahh
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 slay
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 morning 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
Sands of time run out
Bells of Hades ring
Is this a nightmare
To un hallow 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 a**
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
