Lyrics

Sunrise I greet you The beauty of your light So warm and tender Was never denied In tears I see you The last time it will be So give me your blessings I'll meet my destiny The whole west was singing A blood red blues while I sleep It was the last night of my life I'm crying for thee On my knees I pray to the devil queen Tell me! It was without memory You, girl Now I'm washing my lips Darling! So I'll meet you the way That I knew Dear mother, pray for me Victim of unfaith Before my damnation I imagine the last meal Sad emotions I sing this epitaph My swan song My headstone The farewell of my heart The hills of Tyburn Up where the gardens stand Only the poachers Will come to see me hanged The moon shines On my mortal frame The gallows in my dreams Are in vain The rooster crows And I'll be dead His creation and death Are my death I am the old king Now in hell I am left only The wall That I built is my bed A sinner The devil has called me His only son Dear mother, pray for me Victim of unfaith Before my damnation I imagine the last meal Soon it's time Darkness, dark flames I see the flames burn My death The pyre will be full I lost all I'm sure he waited His time A sinner of my own A devil Or just a victim Of life It's not worth to burn In the fire But I sure have enjoyed My life Dear mother, pray for me Victim of unfaith Before my damnation I imagine the last meal
