The day was grey and the building old

third floor, courtyard underneath

They are putting up the gallows there

Today death will come there again

A figure gazing at the clouds beyond the bars

A loud laughter and shout is heard

He plugs his ears and begs god

He doesn't accept his fate

Hang him ! Hang him !

Tighten the noose on his neck firmly

He hopes for salvation

Hours pass and he's all nerves

Vigilance doubled, there won't be any sleep

The gallows rope is stretched

Hang him ! Hang him !

Let the rope break his spine

The executioner is laughing from ear to ear

The clack of shoes is louder and imminent

The priest with the holy bible is kneeling under the cell

The shacked prisoner is led out

It's the last time he sees the world and his cell

Asked at the courtyard about his last words

He utters - fuck you all !

Eyes already blinded by a headscarf

The executioner hangs, the drop opens

The hanged man creaks on the rope

Hang him ! Hang him !

Let the death take him into the abyss
