Testo di 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 [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]
