|
The shadow of the noose grew long |
|
A sun dial of the time |
|
The prisoner had left to live |
|
A self inflicted crime |
|
To pay with death for pain he gave |
|
To those he soon will meet |
|
The rope hung loosely round his neck |
|
The Devil at his feet |
|
"You shall hang," said the judge, |
|
For your presence here on earth, |
|
is no use for those who wish to live in peace. |
|
Your evil is forever. |
|
"You shall hang", said the judge. |
|
"You shall hang, |
|
You shall hang, |
|
You shall hang." |
|
The hangman checked the rope |
|
Aware the prisoner was afraid |
|
The preacher softly praying |
|
To Our Lord his soul to save |
|
The blindfold placed around his eyes |
|
An unlit funeral pyre |
|
The hangman pulled the lever |
|
He heard an astral choir |
|
One man's life has cost another |
|
You shall not lie in sacred ground |
|
The time has come to meet your Maker |
|
Down on earth, they heard no sound |
|
Your evil is for ever, |
|
"You shall hang," said the judge. |
|
All earthly life in you has ceased. |
|
He tried to call out to the Maker |
|
On no earthly soil he fell |
|
The Maker motioned all around |
|
He felt his soul dragged down to Hell |
|
He saw the man that he had murdered |
|
People he had pained on earth |
|
Of reincarnate souls returning |
|
No hope for his rebirth |
|
"You shall hang", said the Maker, |
|
For your presence on our planes, |
|
Is no use for those who wish to rest in peace. |
|
Your evil is for ever, |
|
"You shall hang", said the Maker |
|
"You shall hang. |
|
You shall hang. |
|
You shall hang." |
|
"You shall hang", said the Maker, |
|
For your presence on our planes, |
|
Is no use for those who wish to rest in peace. |
|
Your evil is for ever, |
|
"You shall hang", said the Maker |
|
"You shall hang. |
|
You shall hang. |
|
You shall hang." |
