lyrics

I paid my price without a sound
These chains of love, honor bound
You know these vows won't reconcile
A father's pride or a bastard child
I am a man without a past
Just for you I remove the mask
Soon my love, I will set you free
Forever hold our mystery
Around your neck, the softest skin
My gift of peace shall be my sin
In my hands a final breath
As you fall silent in your Sunday dress

Return to you your dowry
A child within your bones
You rest beneath the quarry
You sleep amongst the stones

Island gallows towering
Bloodthirsty thousands gathering
In a suit of white I shine for you
Above the water, skies of blue
Here I am at the river's bend
This is where I meet my end
Wait for me, I will join you soon
On the rise of the Black Moon

Our blood is in the river
It washes me away
To you it shall deliver
As we return to clay
