Sign of the Cross lyrics by Iron Maiden

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

Standin' alone in the wind and rain
Feelin' the fear just growin'
Sensin' the change in the tide again
Caught by the storm that is brewin'

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
Nothin' to do but await what is comin'

Why then is God still protectin' 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?
Askin' the question time and again
Prayin' to God won't keep me alive
Inside my head feel the fear start to rise

They'll be sayin' their prayers when the moment comes
There'll be penance to pay when it's judgment day
And the guilty'll 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
A fire in the sky
The sign of the cross

They'll be comin' to bring the eternal flame
They'll be bringin' us all immortality
Holdin' communion so the world be blessed
My creator my God'll 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

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
Choose the lust of the earth below
Eleven saintly shrouded men
Come to wash my sins away
