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 shadows tall
Only silence to morning
Only silence till church bell tolls
No sound from the gallows
You feel the cold fo 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 now one step from death
REPEAT CHORUS
Up to the steps mobs cheer you on
who will cry when your gone
Bound hand and foot the hood is in place
pray for God's holy grace
Off in the distance hear the church bell ring
now the angels will sing
REPEAT CHORUS
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 shadows tall
Only silence to morning
Only silence till church bell tolls
No sound from the gallows
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 now one step from death
who will cry when your gone
Bound hand and foot the hood is in place
pray for God's holy grace
Off in the distance hear the church bell ring
now the angels will sing
