|
Off in the distance the church bell rings and the raven spreads his wings |
|
Shadows of steel fall silent in the gloom one last full moon |
|
The future is lost payment for the crime there's no way out this time [Chorus:] |
|
No sound from the gallows no sound from the shadows tall |
|
Only silence till morning only silence till churchbells toll |
|
No sound from the gallows |
|
You feel the cold of the stone below your feet now your sorrow is complete |
|
Have your last meal water and bread as the last rites are read |
|
A new dawn approaches take your last breath you are one step from death [Chorus] |
|
Up to the steps mobs cheer you on who will cry when you're gone |
|
Bound hand and foot the hood is in place pray for |
|
God's holy grace |
|
Off in the distance hear the churchbell ring now the angels will sing [Chorus] |
