Hangman
They guide this guiltless lad
To the gallows, make way
Raring to run, I must be mad
Bent down a desperate shape
By the gallows I pray
Head over heels is my escape
Running up the ridge, my blood rushing
Hangman on my heels, his pace crushing
Scale the mountainside, he's still trailing
Hangman take it home, you unfailing foe far down below
Exhausted by the hunt
Set to fail from the start
Stitch in my side onward I grunt
Still breathe my burning lungs
Still hammers my heart
Long may this lore live in their songs
Running up the ridge, my blood rushing
Hangman on my heels, his pace crushing
Scale the mountainside, he's still trailing
Hangman take it home, you unfailing foe far down below
Running up the ridge, my blood rushing
Hangman on my heels, his pace crushing
Scale the mountainside, he's still trailing
Hangman take it home, I'm hightailing
Hasting up the hill, my death brushing
Hangman on my heels, his pace crushing
Scale the mountainside, he's still trailing
Hangman take it home, you unfailing foe far down below
