To the Gallows Lyrics
Waken by the scream of a buzzard / Sending cold shivers down his back / Now across the barren desert gallops a horse / The only thing alive maintaining hope / soon the steps will slow and horse ends up dead / The rider´s hope now gone too tired to resist / The bonfires behind his back / The chasers wait for their last attack /´The long arm of law has reached him /This time he cannot fight back / Now walking in procession hands around his back / Surrounded by the people who only want him dead / In his eyes the look reminds he´s not ready to tap / Yesterday a hero now a victim of combat / In Judge´s eyes the look - you´re mine / Chorus: / To the gallows / Says the voice through the white hood / To the rope / Shouts the crowd around the dark hill / Now climbing the stairs with distress / Cannot feel hunger or fear of death / Defiance in his face he is standing / In front of the law he resisted
