PROFANATICA drummer / vocalist Paul Ledney commented on the song as follows: “‘Take Up The Cross’ is the second station of the cross. Jesus is forced by Roman’s to carry it, and its weight is that of 10,000 suns. As spikenard fills the air so does the very real scent of sweat and blood. This is the beginning of the days of stains and pain.” All further information you will find at www.facebook.com/profanaticausa
