Candlemass - At The Gallows End Lyrics
Sunrise I greet you, the beauty of your lightso warm and tender was never the nightIn tears I see you, the last time it will beso give me your blessing, I'll meet my destinyNo rest for the SinnerHypnos refused me my sleepThis was the last night of my lifewith wine I pondered on my deedsI drank to the devil with servantsIt's good with a friend where you goNo one would share my last chaliceSo I drink to the ones that I knowRing brother, ring for meRing the bells of hope and faithRing for my damnationI am at the gallows endWith sad emotions, I sing this epitaphmy swansong, my headstone, the farewell of my heartThe hills of Tyburn, up where the gallows standonly the vultures will come to see me hangBehold the sight of my Golgathathe gallows enlightened by the moonproud of his art are the carpenterhis creation a tool for my doomI am the outcast no winnerI am the fallen the onethat lived all his life as a sinnerThe Tempter has called me his sonRing brother, ring for meRing the bells of hope and faithRing for my damnationI am at the gallows endSoon it is time the dark has now fledand I see the place for my deaththe priest he will pray for my lost soulI'm sure he's wasting his timeA sinner, a fool or a devilor just a victim of lifeIt's no fun to burn in hell's firebut I sure have enjoyed my lifeRing brother, ring for meRing the bells of hope and faithRing for my damnationI am at the gallows end
