The Hangman's Body Count

Hear his boots and see the figure dressed in black

Echoes of him have been heard, spiritually he's all intact

Guided by the raven since his eyes don't see

Hear him drag the rope that goes up to the hangman's tree

The wind calls your name, get out of your bed

Go out to the rails, the raven will lead

Judgement will prevail, the hangman is here

You smell the rain and as you walk the final dirt

Pictures of the crime are past but not forgotten in this world

See the valley turn to darkness on your way

The only friend you have is standing at the gallows end

The wind calls your name, get out of your bed

Go out to the rails, the raven will lead

Judgement will prevail, the hangman is here

Put on the rope, you knew the day was comin'

Say your prayers once more

You're part of the hangman's body count

Hear his boots and see the figure dressed in black

Echoes of him have been heard, spiritually he's all intact

The wind calls your name, get out of your bed

Go out to the rails, the raven will lead

Judgement will prevail, the hangman is here

Put on the rope, you knew the day was comin'

Say your prayers once more

You're part of the hangman's body count
