Last Rites Lyrics

Last Rites lyrics


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

Chorus:

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

Chorus

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

Chorus
