What is it? The river shows no mercy, the tower looms into my view, I sense my execution's closing With darkness all around me, the axe is ground to end my days, the raven's cry proclaims repentance Out of the dark, into the light, leaving my mark, free from the drake's gates, into the storm I'm gonna wail, kill a slave, saved by the trade estates A man betrayed for treason, I only wanted what was right, to bring out purpose by rebellion The storm is soon arriving, and rain will wash away my blood, the swatch of death will bring survival Out of the dark, into the light, leaving my mark, free from the drake's gates, ready to die Carry the day, bury the lie, tear down my trade estates Forgive me for my sins, I meant no harm to you, so let the axe man fall, to justify what I began Out of the dark, into the light, leaving my mark, free from the drake's gates, ready to die Out of the dark Where will you be tomorrow? Now they've removed this mortal coil, I hope and pray I bring you freedom Fall of a god and country, this world can be a better place as I ascend from my convention Out of the dark, into the light, leaving my mark, free from the drake's gates, river of blood Timing the tide, cause of the flood, destroying the trade estates Out of the dark, into the light, leaving my mark, free from the drake's gates, losing my head Point of the axe, alive or not dead, the skin from the trade estates
