|
Last night I wasn't sleeping |
|
I knew it was my last |
|
I've just been lying thinking |
|
Reliving all my past |
|
My family and friends have left |
|
My children are all lost |
|
And now I'm standing in a death cell |
|
As the sands of time fall fast |
|
My poor heart it is thumping |
|
My head is fit to flood |
|
To feel that rope around my neck |
|
And know it's there for good |
|
I know that I am innocent |
|
And no one's understood |
|
And now I'm standing on the gallows |
|
To be murdered in cold blood |
|
We are creatures of darkness |
|
Killers of time |
|
We are creatures of darkness |
|
Bodies in lime |
|
Hangman oh hangman |
|
How sleepless is your bed |
|
I can't believe my own ears |
|
My heart is full of lead |
|
That you'd apply and get the job |
|
Of pulling off my head |
|
And leave me kicking in the darkness |
|
Splattering the walls with blood |
|
Hangman oh hangman |
|
You're working in the shade |
|
For creatures of the jungle |
|
Whose message is displayed |
|
In graphic tones of blood revenge |
|
All down the civil blade |
|
And you're the creasy little monkey |
|
Who murders to be paid |
|
And in about six minutes time |
|
I'll be thrown into the lime |
|
By the screws who dug my grave |
|
Who never felt the shame |
|
Who threw me in still breathing |
|
As they covered me with slime |
|
And stuck me on a map in the governors office |
|
A number with no name |
|
We are creatures of darkness |
|
Killers of time |
|
Creatures of darkness |
|
Bodies in lime |
|
And as true as I stand here |
|
I would wish to be untied |
|
To rip those lies clean out your throats |
|
That my death might somehow be justified |
|
There's no unconsecrated ground |
|
In my heart or in my mind |
|
I lived and died in a world full of snakes |
|
And I'm buried in a vicious lie |
|
We are creatures of darkness |
|
Killers of time |
|
Creatures of darkness |
|
Bodies in lime |
