Megadeth - Looking Down The Cross [tekst, tłumaczenie i interpretacja piosenki]

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 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 stray
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 fools
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 down these broken wings
The sands of time run out
The 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 shaken 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
