lyrics

THERE’S A CROSS ON THE HILL,
AND IT CARRIES NO NAME.
IF YOU’RE LINGERIN’ STILL,
I COULD CARVE YOUR DETAILS,
ON THIS WEATHERED PIECE OF STONE.
WE WILL BURY YOU THERE.
WHERE YOU WILL NEVER BREATHE A WORD,
OF THE MAN THAT YOU AIN’T.
HE’LL NEVER SMILE ON YOUR GRAVE,
HE’LL NEVER SMILE ON YOUR GRAVE.

YOU ARE DEAD HERE AND STILL,
BENEATH THE CROSS ON THE HILL.
YOU WILL NEVER RISE UP,
YOU WILL NEVER BE ALLOWED.
IT’S YOUR PLACE IN HIS HEART,
WHERE YOU LAID FROM THE START.
MAY YOU NEVER RISE UP,
FROM THE CROSS ON THE HILL.

FOOLISH OLD MAN,
WHAT HAVE YOU DONE.
NOTHIN’ I CAN SEE,
TO MAKE IT ALL BECOME.
HE JUST WANTED TO KNOW,
THE PLACE IN YOUR HEART.
NOW YOU WON’T GO AWAY,
BUT SOMEDAY YOU WILL.
HE MARKED AS YOUR PLACE,
THE CROSS ON THE HILL.

YOU ARE DEAD HERE AND STILL,
BENEATH THE CROSS ON THE HILL.
YOU WILL NEVER RISE UP,
YOU WILL NEVER BE ALLOWED.
IT’S YOUR PLACE IN HIS HEART,
WHERE YOU LAID FROM THE START.
MAY YOU NEVER RISE UP,
FROM THE CROSS ON THE HILL.

YOU ARE DEAD HERE AND STILL,
BENEATH THE CROSS ON THE HILL.
YOU WILL NEVER RISE UP,
YOU WILL NEVER BE ALLOWED.
IT’S YOUR PLACE IN HIS HEART,
WHERE YOU LAID FROM THE START.
MAY YOU NEVER RISE UP,
FROM THE CROSS ON THE HILL.
MAY YOU NEVER RISE UP,
FROM THE CROSS ON THE HILL.
MAY YOU NEVER RISE UP,
FROM THE CROSS ON THE HILL.

MAY YOU NEVER RISE UP,
MAY YOU NEVER RISE UP,
MAY YOU NEVER RISE UP,
FROM THE CROSS ON THE HILL.
