Lyrics The Gallows - The Builders and the Butchers

The Gallows

Go down to the gallows at midnight
With silk draped 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
The cold steel floor on my feet
I hope that you come down to see me
And give a dyin' boy his wish of relief
Here stands the man dressed in black now
He says with a trembling sigh:
«D'you have any words or requests now?
Just tell me, please, befor you die»
Go down to the gallows at midnight
With silk draped to covr 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 draped 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
