Lyrics
Okay
We going back tonight for all our new album
And, I think these guys at the front here
They know the lyrics, don't you?
This is called 'At the Gallow's End'
Let me see your hands
Everybody, come on, let's have some fun
Come on, you up there, you, come on
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, oh
Hey, hey, hey, hey!
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 gallow's 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
Oh, yeah
Behold the sight of my Golgotha
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 the bells of hope and faith
Ring for my damnation
I am at the gallows end
Hey, hey, hey, hey!
Soon, it's 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 gallow's end
