Last Rites Songtext
von Lefay

He lies awake with his eyes closed
As he thinks of eternity
Last meals of dull 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 care or dare?
First light of the morning will witness his fall
At the end of a rope he′ll hang, beaten the crawl
Don't let it fall, don't let it fall
As he walks to the gallows pole The priest reads his last rites
Twelve feet to the ground
Then 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, beaten the crawl
From the end of the gallows to the land of the dead
He had joined with the hallowed in the land of the dead
From the end of the gallows to the land of the dead
He had joined with the hallowed in the land of the dead
From the end of the gallows to the land of the dead
He had joined with the hallowed in the land of the dead
