Sign Of The Cross Lyrics by Iron Maiden

Sign Of The Cross Lyrics

    Eleven saintly shrouded men
    Silhouettes stand against the sky
    One in front with a cross held high
    Come to wash my sins away

    Standing alone in the wind and rain
    Feeling the fear that is growing
    Sensing the change in the tide again
    Brought by the storm that is brewing
    Feel the anxiety hold off the fear
    Some of the doubt in the things you believe
    Now that your faith will be put to the test
    Nothing to do but await what is coming

    Why then is god still protecting me
    Even when i don't deserve it
    Thought i am blessed with an inner strength
    Some they would call it a penance
    Why am i meant to face this alone
    Asking the question time and again
    Praying to god won't keep me alive
    Inside my head feel the fear start to rise...

    They'll be saying their prayers
    When the moment comes
    There'll be penance to pay when it's judgement day
    And the guilty'll bleed when the moment comes
    They'll be coming to claim,
    Take your soul away

    The sign of the cross
    The name of the rose...
    A fire in the sky
    The sign of the cross

    They'll be coming to bring the eternal flame
    They'll be bringing us all immortality
    Holding communion so the world be blessed
    My creator my god'll lay my soul to rest

    Lost the love of heaven above
    Chose the lust of the earth below
    Eleven saintly shrouded men
    Came to wash my sins away
