The Massacre Lyrics - Singles - Brian Shilts & The High Country River Drinkers

The Cross, the cross what a massacre 

The day that ol' devil lost his grip 

The cross, the cross what a massacre 

When we set sail in mercy's ship 

There's no use sneaking around now 

There's no use hiding out now 

Oh evil you might as well fold all your cards 

There's no use raising a white flag 

There's no use writing a treaty 

Because Jesus, He tore your kingdom apart 

The cross, the cross what a massacre 

When the earth drank the blood of the divine 

The cross, the cross what a massacre 

The day glory robbed every demon blind 

There's no use sneaking around now 

There's no use hiding out now 

Oh evil you might as well fold all your cards 

There's no use raising a white flag 

There's no use writing a treaty 

Because Jesus, He tore your kingdom apart 

From that cross sprang, a well of new wine 

And we drank it down, and it tastes so fine 

From that cross sprang, a well of new wine 

And we drank it down, and it makes us shine 

(x2) 

The cross, the cross what a massacre 

When iniquity caught the wrong end of the spear 

The cross, the cross what a massacre 

When the veil tore, there was nothing left to fear
