Tilted Cross - Fish

There’s a message that’s been left in the long grass by a stranger who’s passed

this way before

Planted seed from which we reap a bitter harvest from his long forgotten war

I left my love in a grave and I marked it with a cross that will stand so

straight and true

It’s not alone in the shade of the valley, they’re what remains of the ones we

once knew

Walk with me my child but tread softly on this earth

Keep a close eye where your feet they touch the ground

Watch out for the signs and heed what they say

One false step and all is lost

In the land of the tilted cross

They lie beneath the needles of the forest, in the fields where only shadows

dare to play

Washed down from the slopes of the mountains in the Spring when the snow melts

away

So be sure when you go on your journey, carry sticks, mark the place where they

are found

Make a cross and be sure that it’s tilted so that others don’t step on this

ground

Walk with me my child but tread softly on this earth

Keep a close eye where your feet they touch the ground

Watch out for the signs and heed what they say

One false step and all is lost

In the land of the tilted cross

I left my love in a grave and I marked it with a cross that stands so straight

and true
