At the Gallows End Lyrics by Candlemass

Introducing Candlemass

1987

[Intro]
Sunrise, I greet you, the beauty of your light
So warm and tender was never the night
In tears, I see you, the last time it will be
So give me your blessing, I'll meet my destiny
[Verse 1]
No rest for the sinner
Hypnos refused me my sleep
This was the last night of my life
With 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
[Chorus]
Ring brother, ring for me
Ring the bells of hope and faith
Ring for my damnation
I am at the gallows end
[Interlude]
With sad emotions, I sing this epitaph
My swansong, my headstone, the farewell of my heart
The hills of Tyburn, up where the gallows stands
Only the vultures will come to see me hang
[Verse 2]
Behold the sight of my Golgatha
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, the one
That lived all his life as a sinner
The tempter has called me his son
[Chorus]
Ring brother, ring for me
Ring the bells of hope and faith
Ring for my damnation
I am at the gallows end
[Verse 3]
Soon, it is time, the dark has now fled
And 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
But I sure have enjoyed my life
[Chorus]
Ring brother, ring for me
Ring the bells of hope and faith
Ring for my damnation
I am at the gallows end
