Candlemass - At the gallows end br br Sunrise, I greet you, the beauty of your light br So warm and tender was never the night br In tears I see you, the last time it will be br So give me your blessing, I'll meet my destiny br br No rest for the sinner br Hypnos refused me my sleep br This was the last night of my life br With wine, I pondered on my deeds br br I drank to the devil with servants br It's good with a friend where you go br No one would share my last chalice br So I drink to the ones that I know br br Ring brother, ring for me br Ring the bells of hope and faith br Ring for my damnation br I am at the gallows end br br With sad emotions, I sing this epitaph br My swan song, my headstone, the farewell of my heart br The hills of Tyburn, up where the gallows stand br Only the vultures will come to see me hang br br Behold the sight of my Golgatha br The gallows enlightened by the moon br Proud of his art are the carpenter br His creation a tool for my doom br br I am the outcast no winner br I am the fallen the one br That lived all his life as a sinner br The tempter has called me his son br br Soon it is time the dark has now fled br And I see the place for my death br The priest, he will pray for my lost soul br I'm sure he's wasting his time br br A sinner, a fool or a devil br Or just a victim of life br It's no fun to burn in hell's fire br But I sure have enjoyed my life br br Ring brother, ring for me br Ring the bells of hope and faith br Ring for my damnation br I am at the gallows end br br Songwriters br EDLING, LEIF
