Last Rites Lyrics - Razor

Mount your stag, my sword is waiting 

A duel, we're gonna have it out 

Follow paths where the night lets you travel 

Through frost and the echoing shouts 

Ride alone and listen for reason 

The wind whispers something to you 

The son of a savage, the son of a snake 

They had you for something to do 

You've come close, the quillotine missed you 

You ran from the Crown with their gold 

The Round Table met, and chose me to find you 

A chalenge is all you've been told 

I wait alone, no armour to shield me 

The thunder slows to a fade 

My cold eyes staring to the edge of the silver 

Lightning strikes the blade 

The tension's in the air tonight 

The night sky tempts the dare 

I can feel the distant fight 

You're nearing from out there 

The silence of my second sight 

Last rites, only fear 

I'm young and you're old but the age doesn't matter 

I'm hard, I can take it, the cold night drops the rain 

Never question ontold secrets, never guess what you won't gain 

I'm the lastting storm to break you, you'll swallow my sword and it's pain 

I've longed for the moment with passion and fury 

To watch as you cry out in pain 

Take a last look at the sky when you've lost 

When your shadow no longer remains 

Our eyes meet as strangers, no fear of the dangers 

The sparks kly, our swords strike as fire 

All that you hear are your worst dying fears 

Afraid of my passing desire 

You drop from the dark, shaking from the answer 

You strike to fight the sky, yes I'm in the way 

It burns and takes all, life and what you wanted 

Where's your spirit drifting, it's left you here to stay 

I've longed for the fire that's burning towards you 

The fool is caught in the flame 

Take a last look at my eyes the reflection 

Unreason is rising again 

You've met the deadline, now back, to the king's wine 

Ride and return what you stole 

You'll never see, what the last rites can be 

Last rites only fair to your soul 

Daylight is breaking, I am alive, you've lost with no time to tell 

The silence has faded, the Queen has arrived 

They've witnessed your journey to hell 

That lonely temper crawls, the loser's the first one that falls 

First you feel pain then you feel nothing at all 

The chains that bind you are held by the captor 

The one you once tried to decieve 

I head down the path where our challenge began 

Take a last look as I leave 

The wind has lifted the rain, The Black Sword has been slain 

I'm forever, and I'll ride my horse again
