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
