Sign Of The Cross

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 Caught by the storm that is brewing

Feel the anxiety, hold off the fear

Some of the doubt and 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

Though 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 fears start to rise

They'll be sayin' their prayers when the moment comes

They'll be penance to pay when it's judgment day

And the guilty will bleed when the moment comes

They'll be comin' to claim, "Take your soul away"

The sign of the cross

The name of the rose

Of 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

Hold the communion so the world be blessed

My creator, my God, lay my soul to rest

The sign of the cross

The name of the rose

A fire in the sky

The sign of the cross, yeah

The sign of the cross

The name of the rose

A fire in the sky

The sign of the cross, the name of the rose, the sign of the cross.

Lost the love of heaven above, Chose the lust of the earth below,

Eleven saintly shrouded men, Come to wash my sins away.
