  sign of the cross
  (harris)
  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
  brought 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 then is 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 saying their prayers when the moment comes
  there'll be penance to pay when it's judgement day
  and the guilty'll bleed when the 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 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
  
  i lost the love of heaven above
  chose the lust of the earth below
  eleven saintly shouded men
  came to wash my sins away
