I have a noose around my neck

 it is spun from my hopes and dreams

 the ones who wronged and now are choking me

 The hanging man, I am not hanged

 to martyr's breath I must now cling

 until I face those who did this to me

 On and on, I'm cursed to live

 cursed with life until I

 have done what must be done

 I am the man...

 Who would not die

 They made these gallows from black light

 but the shining light of this truth

 will make them crumble and I will be free

 To take back what once was mine

 and then from gallows of bright steel

 Hang them with the same rope

 they made for me

 On and on, I'm cursed to live

 cursed with life until I

 have done what must be done

 Hang them high with their own lies

 when their necks break then I

 have done what must be done

 I am the man...

 Who would not die

 (Solo Guitar)

 On and on, I'm cursed to live...

 I am the man who would not die
