Songtext von The Gallows

Go down to the gallows at midnight With silk drape to cover your face Go down to the gallows, they'll soon take my life And lay your eyes over the place Here comes the priest and the prophet A cold, steel floor on my feet I hope that you've come down to see me If a dyin' boy's wish of release Here stands the man dressed in black now And he says with a trembling sigh, "do you have any words or requests now? Just tell me, please, before you die." Go down to the gallows at midnight With silk drape to cover your face Go down to the gallows, they'll soon take my life And lay your eyes over the place Go down to the gallows at midnight With silk drape to cover your face Go down to the gallows, they'll soon take my life And lay your eyes over the place My eyes are alive in this place
