The shrine, are you waiting for a message
Disguised to form another image
In fear or in faith, pray for your salvation
Born to a time that?s heading for damnation

A symbol, a sign, a shrine that you can worship
They committed a crime, you?ll remember for all time
Don?t forgive, don?t forget, the time has come for punishment
In life and in death, the memory will always be

The cycle of the cross will return
To punish mankind once again
Remember for all eternity
Beware the cross you see

A man, a king, followed by the masses
Afraid of him, they commit the greatest sin
For the good for the bad, play the part in history
He must have been mad with the power that he had

The cycle of the cross will return
To punish mankind once again
Remember for all eternity
Beware the cross you see

The cycle of the cross will return
Hail the king, to punish mankind once again
Death to him, the cycle of the cross will return
Hail the king, to punish mankind once again

Hang him high, leave him to die
His revenge will never end
You will pay for your betrayal
Count the loss cursed by the cross

You will fear the sign
Plagued throughout all time

Fear the reign it will return
Change its form to be reborn
In disguise do you recognise
You command, there?s blood on your hands

You will fear the sign
Plagued throughout all time

Hang him high, leave him to die
His revenge will never end
You will pay for your betrayal
Count the loss cursed by the cross
Fear the reign it will return
Change its form to be reborn
In disguise do you recognise
You command, there?s blood on your hands

The shrine, are you waiting for the message
Disguised to form another image
In fear or in faith, pray for your salvation
Born to a time that?s heading for damnation

The plague, the cross, painted on the door
A mass grave cursed forever more
Humane or insane, they wait with bated breath
You?ll live to regret the symbol of death

The cycle of the cross will return
To punish mankind once again
Remember for all eternity
Beware the cross you see

Hail the king, death to him
Hail the king, death to him
Hail the king, death to him
Hail the king, death to him
