When the Deed is Done

	The hangman's waiting for then
	With the rope in his hands
	The silence makes him cast doubt
	On their innocence
	(Then he says)
	This cross I have to carry
	This cross I have to bear
	So keep your mind at ease
	This blood that's on my hands
	I simply wash away
	I'm not a judge or a peer
	Just a man with and iron heart
	And I can't set them free to live again
	It's their time, I won't stall
	And you should never blame me, I'm not at fault
	I don't strive for pleasure, cause there will be none
	And no appreciation - when the deed is done
	The eyes all focus on me
	As I walk to the side
	To pull the lever that could be released by anymore
	It's a battle of will
	Between conscious and righteousness
	And it's more than one soul that's on the line
	It's their time, I won't stall
	And you should never blame me, I'm not at fault
	I don't strive for pleasure, cause there will be none
	And no appreciation - when the deed is done
	The hangman just stands in the distance
	To be shunned in dismay
	From any cynical feelings, I just shy away
	I won't find my glory, drying in the sun
	There's no appreciation - when the deed is done
