The Hangman’s Body Count

[Verse 1]
Hear the boots and see the figure dressed in black
Echoes of him have been heard
Spiritually he’s all intact
Guided by the raven since his eyes don’t see
Hear him drag the rope that goes up to the hangman’s tree

[Pre-Chorus]
The wind calls your name
Get out of your bed
Go up to the hills the raven will lead

[Chorus]
Judgment will prevail the hangman is here

[Verse 2]
You smell the rain and as you walk the final dirt
Pictures of the crime are past but not forgotten in this world
See the valley turn to darkness on your way
The only friend you have is standing at the gallows end

[Pre-Chorus]
The wind calls your name
Get out of your bed
Go up to the hills the raven will lead

[Chorus]
Judgment will prevail the hangman is here

[Bridge]
Put on the rope
You knew the day was coming
Say your prayers once more
You’re part of the hangman’s body count

[Guitar Solo]

[Verse 3]
Hear the boots and see the figure dressed in black
Echoes of him have been heard
Spiritually he’s all intact

[Pre-Chorus]
The wind calls your name
Get out of your bed
Go up to the hills the raven will lead

[Chorus]
Judgment will prevail the hangman is here

[Bridge]
Put on the rope
You knew the day was coming
Say your prayers once more
You’re part of the hangman’s body count

[Guitar solo-Outro]
