Sign Of The Cross Lyrics - Rock In Rio - 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 

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 in the things you believe 

Now that your faith will be put to the test 

nothing to do but await what is coming 

Why is then 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 fear start to rise...

They'll be saving their prayers when the moment comes 

there'll be penance to pay when it's judgement day 

And the guilty'll bleed when that 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 comunion 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
