Iron Maiden – Sign Of The Cross

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 doubts 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
Thought 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 that 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

Lost the love of heaven above
Chose the lust of the earth below
Eleven saintly shrouded men
Came to wash my sins away

Prevod pesme

Znak krsta

Jedanaest svetih pokrivenih ljudi
Siluete na nebu stoje
Jedan je ispred, visoko drži krst
Došli su da očiste grehe moje

Sam na vetru i kiši stojiš
Osećaš sve veći strah
Naslućuješ novi talas promena
Koje donosi oluja koja se sprema
Oseti zebnju, odloži strah
Neke od sumnji u ono u šta veruješ
Sad kad će tvoja vera biti testirana
Nema ti druge nego da čekaš i vidiš šta će biti

Zašto me onda bog i dalje štiti
I kad to ne zaslužujem
Iako sam blagoslovljen unutrašnjom snagom
Neki bi rekli da je to pokora
Zašto mi je suđeno da se sa ovim suočavam sam
Postavljajući isto pitanje iznova i iznova
Molitve bogu neće me održati u životu
U glavi osećam kako strah počinje da raste…

Oni će izgovarati svoje molitve kada dođe čas
Ispaštaće kad dođe sudnji dan
A kad dođe taj čas, krivci će krvariti
Oni će doći da ti uzmu dušu

Znak krsta
Ime ruže, vatra na nebu
Znak krsta

Oni će doći da donesu večni plamen
Svima će nam doneti besmrtnost
Održati pričest da blagoslove svet
Moj stvaralac, moj bog će upokojiti moju dušu

Znak krsta
Ime ruže, vatra na nebu
Znak krsta

Izgubio sam ljubav nebesa svevišnjih
Izabrao požudu zemlje
Dođi, očisti grehe moje
