Tilted Cross Lyrics

Tilted Cross lyrics

There's a message that's been left in the long grass by a stranger who's passed
this way before,

Planted seed from which we reap a bitter harvest from
his long forgotten war,



I left my love in a grave and I marked it
with a cross that will stand so straight and true,

It's not alone in the
shade of the valley, they're what remains of the ones we once knew,



Walk with me my child but tread softly on this earth,

Keep a close eye
where your feet they touch the ground,

Watch out for the signs and heed
what they say,

One false step and all is lost,

In the land of the
tilted cross.



They lie beneath the needles of the forest, in the
fields where only shadows dare to play,

Washed down from the slopes of
the mountains in the spring when the snow melts away,



So be sure
when you go on your journey, carry sticks, mark the place where they are
found,

Make a cross and be sure that it's tilted so that others don't
step on this ground.



Walk with me my child but tread softly on
this earth,

Keep a close eye where your feet they touch the ground,

Watch out for the signs and heed what they say,

One false step and all
is lost,

In the land of the tilted cross.



I left my love in a
grave and I marked it with a cross that stands so straight and true.
