At The Gallows End (Studio Outtake)
Lyrics
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 ♪ The great master Hypnos refused me my sleep Too many forcing my mind This was the last night I would ever risen So I watered my piece of mind I drank to the devil with servants and all It's good with a friend where you go Too many people would share my last chalice So I drink to the ones that I know ♪ 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 ♪ Out of my cell, I showed that the sight of me The gallows enlightened by the moon I saw when the carpenters bled on the ground Started to work on my doom The free men will follow me up to that hill Morning will come for its time A killer, a thief and a sinner like me Together we're sentenced to hang ♪ Soon it is time, the dark has now fled And I see the place for my death The priest, he will come with the book in his hand And pray for salvation and rest I promise, I won't cry, you won't see me bleed They'll hang me for my crime I may be a sinner, a victim of fate But I sure know to enjoy my life
