Wicked Shallows - Waltz Of The Hangman lyrics

{intro} Have you heard The waltz of the hangman Most sobering song that i know All the crows gather 'round When they hear the sound Crying out After every note {verse 1} Well they dragged me down to the town square Laid plain to the name that i bear Saying rumors gone 'round That i've struggled And now they're all wanting their share {verse 2} Well i moved to this town about seven years back To escape from the man that i was Guess i flashed too much cash Or said the wrong words I created One hell of a buzz {verse 3} Now the folks that are talkin' say they've seen me before In a paper from a city to the west Said i was a wanted man Stole the governesses gems And the heart Right out of her chest {chorus} Have you heard The waltz of the hangman Most sobering song that i know All the crows gather 'round When they hear the sound Crying out After every note {bridge} {pre-chorus} So with fire and discourtesy i was hunted They called out the horsemen and the hounds But they saw the river If only i were quicker They finally ran me down So they dragged me in hold by my ankles And threw me in the smallest cell they own And as the bells rang out How they raised up the sound The thief to all the world must be known {chorus} Have you heard The waltz of the hangman Most sobering song that i know All the crows gather 'round When they hear the sound Crying out After every note {instrumental} {verse 4} So before i sway Amongst the oak trees Let me kiss your cheek and whisper in your ear The only love we ever own is our freedom And greed the only devil we need fear {chorus} Have you heard The waltz of the hangman Most sobering song that i know All the crows gather 'round When they hear the sound Crying out After every note {outro} All the crows gather 'round When they hear the sound Crying out After every note
