Under The Wings Of The Cross Lyrics

Under The Wings Of The Cross lyrics

A descent into the darkest realm of time When cruelty was an abstract form of
ugliness Accusations of sacrilege, the terror was real What fell over the land
was hatred forced with steel  The servants of power unleashed tyranny No one to
escape from the shield of hypocrisy For decades the poor have been the
defenseless Slaughter and mayhem under the wings of the cross  Extremity in
ways too savage to realize In rotten dungeons the screams seemed to vanish
Perversion, monstrosity, undeserved suffering Horrible ways to "discover" all
heretic sinners  When twisted minds fulfill the spiral prophecy To work hand in
hand with death is efficiency No pity for any form of supplication Just
continuing acts of bestial eliminations   ("The Winter Of Our Discontent")
