| Lyrics |
Sunrise I greet you, the beauty of your lightso warm and tender was never the night
In tears I see you, the last time it will beso give me your blessing, I'll meet my destiny
No rest for the Sinner
Hypnos refused me my sleep
This was the last night of my lifewith wine I pondered on my deeds
I drank 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 damnation
I am at the gallows end
With sad emotions, I sing this epitaphmy swansong, my headstone, the farewell of my heart
The hills of Tyburn, up where the gallows standonly the vultures will come to see me hang
Behold the sight of my Golgathathe gallows enlightened by the moonproud of his art are the carpenterhis creation a tool for my doom
I am the outcast no winner
I am the fallen the onethat lived all his life as a sinner
The Tempter has called me his son
Soon it is time the dark has now fledand I see the place for my deaththe priest he will pray for my lost soul
I'm sure he's wasting his time
A sinner, a fool or a devilor just a victim of life
It's no fun to burn in hell's firebut I sure have enjoyed my life
Ring brother, ring for me
Ring the bells of hope and faith
Ring for my damnation
I am at the gallows end
