Today's the day I'm afraid

My penance will finally be paid

As I walk up to the noose

I'll leave this world with no excuse

It's time to go

Up off your knees

Where you're going, there's no need to scream

The shackles clank 'round my feet

It's time, the gallows are calling

Every night I feel it creeping through my head

The reoccurring thoughts of being gone and finally dead

Maybe when I finally breathe my final breath

I'll finally feel relief from the thoughts up in my head

Walking to the gallows where I will be hung

The reaper he is watching, behind us he is slowly stalking

I feel the suffocation snuffing out my lungs, there's nothing left I'm just a dead man walking

Walk up to the rope

There is no hope

The rope is there waiting

After this floor falls

I'll come back to haunt you all

I'll show up in your sleep

And won't even make a peep

Vengeance is mine

It is finally time

This is the end

For both of us my friend

I'll come back and get you

Bring you back with me to the depths

Step up to the block

It's time to face your fate

Think of your final words

And release all that hate

When the floor drops

There's no need to scream

The shackles released from your feet

It's time, the gallows are calling

Every night I feel it creeping through my head

The reoccurring thoughts of being gone and finally dead

Maybe when I finally breathe my final breath

I'll finally feel relief from the thoughts up in my head

Walking to the gallows where I will be hung

The reaper he is watching, behind us he is slowly stalking

I feel the suffocation snuffing out my lungs, there's nothing left I'm just a dead man walking

I've come to terms with this

I'm no longer afraid

Because I know that I'll be back

And show you the same pain
