A song about a man on death row hours from an appointment with the hangman
Non performing writer ONLY
I am a non performing songwriter at the moment.
Story behind the song
This is a demo in progress
Lyrics
Father, save me from this road I walk along
I'll be swingin' from the gallows's pole at dawn
Please absolve me from the sins of yesterday
Cause hangman's close behind
Death occupies my mind
There's no peace I can find
My life will not rewind
And time is quickly slippin' away
All of my time is quickly slippin' away
All of my time is quickly slippin' away
All of my time is quickly slippin' away
Slippin' away
You're the final hope that I am counting on
For the clock counts down and time is almost gone
All the many lies have led me far astray
So please take away the fear
My destiny is clear
My fate is drawing near
And hangman's almost here
And time is quickly slippin' away
All of my time is quickly slippin' away
All of my time is quickly slippin' away
All of my time is quickly slippin' away
I'm goin' down
And I won't shed tears for the clown
The liar
Defiler
And all his sympathizers
No, I won't shed tears for the clown
The liar
Defiler
And all his sympathizers
No, I won't shed tears for the clown
But he'll be watchin' me when hangman comes round
For to take me away
For to take me away
For to take me away
For to take me away
For to take me away
For to take me away
For to take me away
He's here to take me away
Somebody save me
Cause I'm goin' down
I'm goin' down
Thanks for listening. I am not done with this demo yet and I am thinking the same thing you are.
