Waltz Of The Hangman Lyrics by Wicked Shallows

Parched Earth

2018

[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 struck gold
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
And 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 shout
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
