Megadeth- Looking Down the Cross

This song is about the crucifixion of Jesus Christ and His finals thoughts before He died. In the song, Dave suggests that Jesus might have been wishing for vengeance, but only spoke of forgiveness. Hence the line, "I'm looking down the cross. Speak no evil." Or, as the Bible puts it, "Father forgive them, for they know not what they do." (Luke 23:34)

(Music, lyrics: Mustaine)

Solo - Mustaine

Now before they take me
And my blessed life
Now you'll know
Why death was summoned here tonight
I'll recall my perils
They'll kill me in pride
No, I can't run away
There's no place to hide

Though too much to live for
I owe enough to die
Ask not for salvation
My death shall mean their lives
Hatred and guilt - the alter they've built
High priests of sin
Destiny, fate - the wicked ones' gate
Beckoning you in

Down the walkways
Through the bloodstained town
Looking down the cross,
Bleeding from the crown
Led to stay, to die beside the thieves
Kill the King of the world to be

And now to you, this will come:
A putrefying pestilence
More noxious than the serpent's breath
Malevolently destined
More corrupt than the malice of Choronzon
More diseased
Than the wind of the moonlight sun

Putrefaction you have caused
No need for confession
Now you wish you had a god
To stop your demolition
Crush the bones of the hundred fold
Swing the judgment hammer
Man, woman, child, no one is safe
The heads of the dead are the banner

And this was all you got
So don these broken wings
Sands of time have run out
Bells of Hades ring

Is this a nightmare to unhallow thy name?
Smell of brimstone dancing in the flames
No help now as you fufill his task
Chief of evil has got you by the ass

Set free to sit up on the throne
Just a dream, you're weeping all alone

Looking down the cross, speak no evil
I'm looking down the cross, speak no evil

Solo - Mustaine
