At the Gallows End Songtext
von Candlemass

At the Gallows End Songtext

Sunrise, I greet you, the beauty of your light
So warm and tender was never the night
Tears, I see you, the last time it will be
So give me your blessings, I′ll meet my destiny

No rest for the sinner
Hypnos refused me my sleep
This was the last night of my life
Wine I pondered on my deeds

I drink to the devil with servants
It's good with a friend where you go
No one would share my last chalice
So I drink to the ones that I know

Ring, brother, ring for me
Ring the bells of hope and faith
Ring for my
I am at the gallows end


Sad emotion, I sing this epitaph
My swansong, my headstone, the farewell of my heart
The hills of Tyburn, up where the gallows stand
Only the vultures will come to see me hang

Hey-hey-hey

Behold the sight of my Golgotha
The gallows enlightened by the moon
Proud of his art are the carpenter
His creation a tool for my doom

I am the outcast, no winner
I am the fallen one
That lived all his life as a sinner
The tempter has called me his son

Ring, brother, ring for me
Ring the bells of hope and faith
I am at the gallows end

Soon it is time, the dark has now fled
I see the place for my death
The priest, he will pray for my lost soul
I′m sure he's wasting his time


A sinner, a fool or a devil
Or just a victim of life
It's no fun to burn in hell′s fire
I sure have enjoyed my life

(What?) Brother, ring for me
Ring for my damnation
I am at the gallows end
