The Last Hangman

Oh, your northern soul

So filthy and so corrupt

The noose wrapped so tight around the throat

And those sweaty palms

That lay upon the corpse like a call to arms

That lay upon the corpse like a call to arms

A call to arms

A call to arms

A call to arms

Albert shows no reprieve

Albert shows no reprieve

Albert shows no reprieve

Albert shows no reprieve

And her pretty eyes

Dangerous and deluded led to his demise

And for each man and woman hung

The last hangman's morality sung

Like I've said

For each man and woman hung

The last hangman's morality sung

For each man and woman hung

The last hangman's morality sung

Take them to the stocks

And leave them to rot

Take them to the stocks

And leave them to rot

Take them to the stocks

And leave them to rot, to rot, to rot

Help the poor struggler's last orders ring

Pierrepoint's code of what's right and what's wrong

Clash and they cling

And here sails the ship of the hangman's legacy

Just north of the port of moral reclamation

Albert Pierrepoint's desired destination

Take them to the stocks

And leave them to rot

Take them to the stocks

And leave them to rot

Take them to the stocks

And leave them to rot, to rot, to rot

Albert shows no reprieve

Albert shows no reprieve

Albert shows no reprieve

Albert shows no reprieve

And for each man and woman hung

The last hangman's morality sung
