Sleep Tight - The Last Hangmen

I can hear him moaning in his cell

praying, cursing, casting spells

yet nothing can save his head

walking restless, waiting for his death

tomorrow comes his final day

I will lead him to his end

will I have my peace with this

at least I have to pretend!

memories cut roughly through my mind

old feelings versus my sense of duty

brothers in arms, no foes by law

you won’t receive your revelation

the scaffold’s lurking in the dark

waiting thirsty for fresh blood

stained with pain of countless enemies

and it still wants more

in the name of their twisted justice

so they claim it’s for peace and liberty

his body will turn cold

as friends had turned to foes

his screams cut roughly through the

darkness of the night

filling me with weird sadness

I wish that you sleep well my friend

your last sleep shall be tight

shall be tight!

the walls around me are my witness

I am confessing any deed

starring through those iron bars

knowing where my path will lead

where my path will lead

where my path will lead

dusk falls slowly on the world

this night is dark and full of terrors

yet nothing now can save my head

the case is closed my soul is sold

and my screams cut roughly through the

darkness of the night

my mind is heading straight to madness

there is no escape I have to rest

my last sleep shall be tight

shall be tight!

the scaffold’s lurking in the dark

waiting thirsty for fresh blood

stained with pain of countless enemies

and it still wants more

in the name of their twisted justice

so they claim it’s for peace and liberty

my body will turn cold

as friends had turned to foes

my screams cut roughly through the

darkness of the night

my mind is heading straight to madness

there is no escape I have to rest

my last sleep shall be tight

shall be tight!

the walls around me are my wittness

no regrets for any deed

starring through those iron bars

knowing where my path will lead

The sun is rising

and my final day has come

I have to say, I have slept well

do not hesitate

behead me now my friend

see you in hell!
