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
|
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
|
|
Ring brother, ring for me
|
Ring the bells of hope and faith
|
Ring for my damnation
|
I am at the gallows end
|
|
With sad emotions, I sing this epitaph
|
my swansong, my headstone, the farewell of my heart
|
The hills of Tyburn, up where the gallows stand
|
only the vultures will come to see me hang
|
|
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
|
|
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
|
|
Ring brother, ring for me
|
Ring the bells of hope and faith
|
Ring for my damnation
|
I am at the gallows end
|
