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 beleive
|
Now that your faith will be put to the test
|
Nothing to do but await that is coming
|
|
Why then is god still protecting me
|
Even when I don't deserve it
|
Thought I am blessed with an inner strenght
|
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 penace to pay when it's judgement day
|
And the guilty'll be bleedwhen 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 bve 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
|
|
The sign of the cross
|
The name of the rose, a fire in the sky
|
The sign of the cross
|
|
Lost the love of father above
|
Chose the lust of the earth below
|
Eleven saintly shrouded men
|
Come to wash my sins away
|
