The Hangman's Body Count Lyrics
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 on 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 on to the rails, the raven will lead
Judgement will prevail, the hangman is here.
Put on the rope, you knew the day was coming
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 on to the rails, the raven will lead
Judgement will prevail, the hangman is here
Put on the rope, you knew the day was coming
Say your prayers once more; you're a part of the hangman’s body count
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
Go on to the rails, the raven will lead
Judgement will prevail, the hangman is here.
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
Go on to the rails, the raven will lead
Judgement will prevail, the hangman is here.
Say your prayers once more; you're part of the hangman’s body count
Echoes of him have been heard, spiritually he's all intact
Go on to the rails, the raven will lead
Judgement will prevail, the hangman is here
Say your prayers once more; you're a part of the hangman’s body count

The song is evident in its meaning, a Hangman's body count.. The deadliest men in the entire Old West. Evident in the lyrics Justice will prevail, The Hangman is here.

According to Michael Poulsen, "A lot of people had heard those ghost stories about the Hangman from the Old West, and I wanted to do my own. The blind Hangman with a raven on his shoulders as his eyes is out there, walking through the valley, judging who is good and who is bad. You’d never know he was there – you could only hear his boots. He picks out the sinners, and they’re told while they’re in bed that that raven will come and knock on the door, and they should follow the raven to the Hangman…"
I think this song is about the Mafia being after you. And they kill you hence the line "your part of the hangmans body count"
No it's about the final end of frontier justice which was the Hangman.. This whole album is dedicated to gunslingers and the infamous of the Old West. If you had knew that you would know by just the names Doc Holliday, Black Bart, Lola Mendez and Pearl Hart.
