Cm
Look through the people, and on through the mist
To the hill of the headless cross
Where all witches meet, on a night such as this
And the power of darkness is host
They come face to face, eye to eye, soul to soul
With an Angel that fell from the sky
Borne on the air, are the screams and the wails
Of the masses appointed to die

Chorus:
 G#
Listen for the feet as they pound
     Fm                     Cm
the land to a tune of thunder
G#
Watch as the legions ride again
      Fm                     G G# G
to a fate of death or torture
                  Cm
At the headless cross, at the headless cross

From the first evil night,
when a black flash of light
Cut the crucifix half to the ground
There's been no escape from the power of Satan
On a nation so brave and so proud

Chorus

How do you feel, when the locks refuse the key
And the master is calling your name
Does the luck of the charm,
really keep you from harm
Does the talisman protect you from pain

Chorus

From the first evil night,
when a black flash of light
Cut the crucifix half to the ground
There's no escaping from the power of Satan
For a people so brave and so proud

Chorus

At the headless cross, at the headless cross

Where will you run to, at the headless cross
Look, to the headless cross
