Off in the distance the church bell rings and
the raven spreads his wings Shadows of steel
fall silent in the gloom one last full
moon The future is lost payment for the crime
there's no way out this
time
Chorus:
No sound from the
gallows no sound from the shadows tall Only
silence till morning only silence till
churchbells toll No sound from the
gallows
You feel the cold of the stone
below your feet now your sorrow is
complete Have your last meal water and bread
as the last rites are read A new dawn
approaches take your last breath you are one step
from death
Chorus
Up to the steps
mobs cheer you on who will cry when you're
gone Bound hand and foot the hood is in place
pray for God's holy grace Off in the distance
hear the churchbell ring now the angels will
sing
