Soldier of the cross soldier of the cross
You carry the sort of fate
Soldier of the cross soldier of the cross
You bring love to those who hate.
You bring love to those who hate.
And the pendulum swings side to side
Where you gonna run where you gonna hide
When he comes down only you can tell
What it's gonna be heaven or hell.
He's a stranger in this valley
Where many a men met his grave
And the voices in the silence
Sing of the life he can save.
But the river runs deep and the river is wide
How you gonna get to the other side
Pendulum swing only you can tell
You gotta let them choice heaven or hell.
--- Instrumental ---
And the pendulum swings side to side
Where you gonna run where you gonna hide
Living on the line only you can tell
What it's gonna be heaven or hell.
Soldier of the cross soldier of the cross
You carry the sort of fate
Soldier of the cross soldier of the cross
You bring love to those who hate.
You bring love to those who hate.
You bring love to those who hate.
You bring love you bring love.
You bring love you bring love.
You bring love you bring love..
