At The Gallows End

Sunrise I greet you, the beauty of your light
 So warm and tender was never the night
 In tears I see you, the last time it will be
 So give me your blessing, I'll meet my destiny
 
 ♪
 No rest for the sinner
 Hypnos refused me my sleep
 This was the last night of my life
 With wine I pondered on my deeds
 I drank to the devil with servants
 It's good with a friend where you go
 No one would share my last chalice
 So I drink to the ones that I know
 Ring brother, ring for me
 Ring the bells of hope and faith
 Ring for my damnation
 I am at the gallows end
 With sad emotions, I sing this epitaph
 My swansong, my headstone, the farewell of my heart
 The hills of Tyburn, up where the gallows stand
 Only the vultures will come to see me hang
 ♪
 Behold the sight of my Golgatha
 The gallows enlightened by the moon
 Proud of his art are the carpenter
 His creation a tool for my doom
 I am the outcast no winner
 I am the fallen the one
 That lived all his life as a sinner
 The Tempter has called me his son
 Ring brother, ring for me
 Ring the bells of hope and faith
 Ring for my damnation
 I am at the gallows end
 ♪
 Soon it is time, the dark has now fled
 And I see the place for my death
 The priest he will pray for my lost soul
 I'm sure he's wasting his time
 A sinner, a fool or a devil
 Or just a victim of life
 It's no fun to burn in hell's fire
 But I sure have enjoyed my life
 Ring brother, ring for me
 Ring the bells of hope and faith
 Ring for my damnation
 I am at the gallows end
