Testo Once Upon The Cross

[Originally released in 1995 on the album "Once Upon The Cross".]
[3:34]

Once upon the cross

Fear him, fear him, fear him, fear him
Fear him, fear him, fear him... Satan
Nazarene in the valley of persuasion
To receive last temptations from Lord Satan
"Take a bite", said the serpent, "eat of it"
Without no choice to do so, you cannot resist

Impaled crucifixion
Compassion forgot
Eternal damnation
Once upon the cross

Blasphemy laughs at thee, Jesus, you've been deceived
Struggling on the cross, gagging to breathe
Despite your God, question why
You were retrieved by the Angel of Light
Once upon the cross

Kill him, kill him, kill him, kill him
Kill him, kill him, kill him... Satan

Nazarene screaming on his crucifixion
Prophecy in its final contradiction
When you die is when the lie will be believed
Upon the cross, before the world to see

Impaled crucifixion
Compassion forgot
Eternal damnation
Once upon the cross
