At The Gallows End (Studio Outtake)

Lyrics for At The Gallows End (Studio Outtake)

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
