Hang Him High Songtext
von Nation

Hang him high

The world outside is violent
Inside he smiles silent
Writing a letter in the light from a candle
A dirty rat is grinding
Another day is rising
No, no, no, he don′t wanna die
No surrender

No one will bail him out of here
No one will care about his tears
You're all alone without a memory
Still remember what the wise man told you
You have to walk the right way
Just another minute left to live
′Cause the hangman closing in


Hang him high
An eye for an eye and a trip to heaven
He knows he can't run away this time
High and dry
Sing the blues as your life is fading
A murder ain't never worth the pain

The night is cold and empty
He′s having staring nightmares
Preachers are sending him to hell
′Cause he's guilty
To kill a man is madness
He cannot feel no sadness
Why, why, why he′s cold as stone
No emotions

When he is gone the mob has won
When all the dirty work is done
Then it's a little piece of justice
Still remember what the wise man told you
You have to walk the right way
Just another minute left to live
′Cause the hangman closing in


Hang him high
An eye for an eye and a trip to heaven
He knows he can't run away this time
High and dry
Sing the blues as your life is fading
A murder ain′t never worth the pain

Still remember what the wise man told you
You have to walk the right way
Just another minute left to live
'Cause the hangman closing in
And no one needs you

Hang him high
An eye for an eye and a trip to heaven
He knows he can't run away this time
High and dry
Sing the blues as your life is fading
A murder ain′t never worth the pain

No!
