Last Rites |
Off in the distance the church bell rings and the raven spreads his wings |
Shadows of steel fall silent in the gloom one last full moon |
The future is lost payment for the crime there’s no way out this time |
No sound from the gallows no sound from the shadows tall |
Only silence till morning only silence till churchbells toll |
No sound from the gallows |
You feel the cold of the stone below your feet now your sorrow is complete |
Have your last meal water and bread as the last rites are read |
A new dawn approaches take your last breath you are one step from death |
Up to the steps mobs cheer you on who will cry when you’re gone |
Bound hand and foot the hood is in place pray for God’s holy grace |
Off in the distance hear the churchbell ring now the angels will sing |
