One man stands to be hanged
Twelve were not hung
Two feet sway in the wind
Twenty-four on the floor
Four hands for the body
Two for the spade
Six feet below the ground
Still two remained
Take what you stole from the gallows
Keep it close to your chest, count to ten
Blindfolded and pacing 'round the cycle
What price would you pay to exonerate
If you see the light of day, would you dare to tempt my gaze
One man stands
Coin in hand
He'll pay the toll
All things be damned
One man stands
Petty is as petty does
But penance stares into what once was
Huh
Take what you stole from the gallows
Eight paces away from your grave
Damned to be consumed by death
Take what you stole from the gallows
Six feet separate you and I
Blindfolded and pacing 'round the cycle
What price would you pay to exonerate
If you see the light of day, would you dare to tempt my gaze
Does it dig deep into your veins and wash away all of the blood that's spilled beneath the grain
What do you stand for
What makes a king
Who holds the coin
Is it he who pulls the strings
Fuck
What do you stand for
What makes a king
One man stands
Coin in hand
He'll pay the toll
All things be damned
One man stands
Petty is as petty does
But penance stares into what once was
