Lyrics:
Verse 1
Chains cut skin, I stand condemned,
Cold stone floor, my final end.
Torchlight weeps on prison walls,
Shadows writhe at judgment’s call.
Rust and blood in every breath,
I face the dawn, I face my death.
Verse 2
Footsteps slow, the priest draws near,
Murmured words I will not fear.
Speaks of mercy, speaks of grace,
I spit truth in death’s cold face.
Not for crown, not for throne,
I bled for cause I made my own.
Chorus
Deathrite at sunset,
Can't fight a lass my doom's met.
Deathrite at sunset,
Steel in my soul, no regret.
Verse 3
See her eyes in candle flame,
Love and loss the same damn name.
Her warm touch, now fading fast,
Ghost of dreams that couldn’t last.
If love’s a sin, I wear the brand,
I die a free, condemned man.
Verse 4
Let them scream, let them curse,
They never bore this dying thirst.
I chose the fire, I chose my side,
Call me traitor—I call it right.
Cut my oath in bone and breath,
I’ll scream my creed beyond my death.
Chorus
Deathrite at sunset,
Can't fight a lass my doom's met.
Deathrite at sunset,
Steel in my soul, no regret.
Bridge
When my head strikes frozen sand,
I rise with sword in phantom hand.
Beyond the veil, beyond their law,
I wage this war forevermore.
Outro
Bury flesh, not what I believe,
My war lives on past the grave.
