Lefay Last Rites Lyrics

Last Rites Lyrics


he lays awake
with his eyes closed
as he thinks of eternity

the
last meal served on silver plates
left a taste of cold steel

his
memories haunt him
though what's past
is so far away

he's drowning
in fear of death
but does anyone give a damn

first light of the
morning
will witness his fall
at the end of a rope he'll hang
feeding
the crows

as he walks to the gallow's pole
the priest reads his last
rites
twelve feet to the ground
there's just six more to go

first
light of the morning
will witness his fall
at the end of a rope he'll
hang
feeding the crows

from the end of the gallow
to the land of
the dead
he's joined with the hallowed
in the land of the dead
