Lyrics

[01:36.51][10:55.66] Eleven saintly shrouded men
[01:40.49] Silhouettes stand against the sky
[01:44.26] One in front with a cross held high
[01:48.51] Come to wash my sins away
[02:47.00] Standing alone in the wind and rain
[02:49.14] Feeling the fear that is growing
[02:51.69] Sensing the change in the tide again
[02:54.18] Brought by the storm that is brewing
[02:56.62] Feel the anxiety hold off the fear
[02:59.00] Some of the doubt in the things you believe
[03:01.52] Now that your faith will be put to the test
[03:03.87] Nothing to do but await what is coming
[03:06.40] Why then is god still protecting me
[03:08.67] Even when I don't deserve it
[03:11.11] Thought I am blessed with an inner strength
[03:13.55] Some they would call it a penance
[03:15.92] Why am I meant to face this alone
[03:18.46] Asking the question time and again
[03:20.80] Praying to God won't keep me alive
[03:23.13] Inside my head feel the fear start to rise...
[03:25.64] They'll be saying their prayers
[03:26.85] when the moment comes
[03:28.00] There'll be penance to pay when it's judgement day
[03:35.19] And the guilty'll bleed when the moment comes
[03:37.56] They'll be coming to claim,
[03:38.83] Take your soul away
[03:43.32][03:57.51][04:21.71][04:35.35][10:09.81][10:26.94][10:38.90] The sign of the cross
[03:48.02][04:25.89][10:15.59][10:32.81] The name of the rose...
[03:52.83][04:30.66][10:21.14] A fire in the sky
[04:04.07] They'll be coming to bring the eternal flame
[04:05.88] They'll be bringing us all immortality
[04:13.37] Holding communion so the world be blessed
[04:15.47] My creator my God'll lay my soul to rest
[10:47.82] Lost the love of heaven above
[10:51.62] Chose the lust of the earth below
[10:59.68] Came to wash my sins away
