[Lyric] Last Rites (Toledo Steel)

Tie me down so I cannot run
Execution! Neath the burning sun
Gather round, witness to my fate
Call out the priest, there's no time left to wait

I am ready, got nothing left to say
For my sins this price I'll have to pay
Got no regrets, from death I cannot hide
Take him away, the people shout and cry

Tempting my fav, I know it's too late
Somebody save me
Look to the sky, I' ready to die
I'm ready to hear my last rites

How on earth did it come to this?
Shackled in chains, the bitter kiss
I tried to run, you can't outrun the law
Now I'm kneeling upon the killing floor

Razor sharp, blade comes crashing down
Justice served, no mercy to be found
Take me to hell, I'll feel the fire burn
Then hear me screaming "One day I'll return"
Far beyond the realms of living now I rest
My spirit freed upon the soaring wings of death
Betrayed by my beliefs, my soul is cursed and damned
I died upon the stone by the executioner's hand

I tempted my fate but it was too late
Nobody saved me
I look at the sky with fear in my eyes
They read me my last rites
I opened the gates, stared death in the face
But nobody saved me
If people ask why, they'll know that I died
Embraced by the darkness
