Ballad of a Hangman - Grave Digger

Scream and die — at the gallows pole

Where the hanged are singing songs of despair

Hope is the last what they have in mind

Songs of revolution are hanging in the air

The master of death, deep in their mind

Stealing their lives and leaving them blind

No mercy, no excuse for all of your sins

You will die in agony, the evil within

Run and hide

As long as you can

The race is started

Let the hangman begin

Kill you — at the gallows pole

Where the brave find their rest and pray for the dead

Ballads are sung and the earth starts to quake

The last supper starts for the slaughter you wait

Run and hide

As long as you can

The race is started

Let the hangman begin
