lyrics

HANGMAN

Today I wear the chains
these shackles bound to my name
Carry the weight of another man
one who struggled in vain

If I say it out loud
is it any more real?
If I say it strong
will it shake me still

Recounting the tale
animated, an actor in a play
Take this tallow, for you I made
hold it dear, closer to the flame

If I say it out loud
is it any more real?
If I say it strong
will it shake me still

Standing behind
Running beyond
Wayward intention
Can’t settle the answer
Set back and set in
with a maddening cry

No longer can this wait
Ghost it beckons consummation of my fate
While we gasp for breath we cannot sing
Call out the Hangman and take him to the gallows

If I say it out loud
Is it any more real?
If I say it strong
Will it shake me still

If I say it out loud
Is it any more real?
If I say it strong
Will it shake me still

Today I wear the chains
