Xyster - Die On The Cross lyrics

rate me

Now the sentenced has been passed, death will soon be here<br />

The time has come for him to die, his face tormented fear<br />

Pilate washed his hands of him, nothing can be done<br />

To stop the anti-Christians having their evil fun<br />

<br />

Marching on to Calgary, the cross digs in his back<br />

He knows that there is no return, he cannot resist attack<br />

Blood is pouring from the wounds where the whip has bitten<br />

His eyes show the pain he's in, the people by death smitten<br />

<br />

You will die on the cross<br />

When the time is right<br />

You will die on the cross<br />

Hang by day and by night<br />

<br />

Waiting on the route of death, the baying, chanting crowd<br />

Spit on him as he walks by and defilate the shroud<br />

On ahead at Calgary the thorns and nails await<br />

To be forced in through his wrists, driven in by hate<br />

<br />

You will die on the cross<br />

When the time is right<br />

You will die on the cross<br />

Hang by day and by night<br />

<br />

Die Christ, in pain, nailed to wood<br />

From skulls of apostles we drink his blood<br />

<br />

A thorn crown is forced on his head<br />

A spear enters his lung - he is dead<br />

<br />

Hanging still on the cross, blood falls to the earth<br />

His father sent him down to save, has it been his worth?<br />

A lonely figure on the hill, nailed onto a pole<br />

Will the Holy Ghost descend to take his blackened soul?<br />

<br />

You will die on the cross<br />

When the time is right<br />

You will die on the cross<br />

Hang by day and by night<br />

Die on the cross, die on the cross, die on the cross<br />

<br />

You will die on the cross
