Somewhere down this road
And out their names cut into the skin Of souls without a stain
And as the sun comes down On a day some will forget
I'll place my compass here To guide my every step
Don't think that you're home free Don't think I'm giving in
Your time is running out So on your trail again
There'll be a rumble at the gallows The skies begin to part
Their bellies turn to yellow There'll be devils in the dark
A hangman stands alone The sun is at his back
They're off to meet the maker As the rope takes up the slack
And
then they're gonna know That's when they're gonna pay
In the hands of a hangman In the cold light of day
In the cold
light of day
The years have come and gone As I try to make it right
I swear I'll see it through Each and every night
Somebody's done me wrong Someone, someone knows
I've got to find an answer I just can't let it go
Don't think that you're home free Don't think I'm giving in
Your time is running out So on your trail again
Don't think that you're home free Don't think I'm giving in
Your time is running out And I'm on the road again
And in the cold
Cold
light of day
Yes, in the cold
They're gonna pay
And then they're gonna know That's when they're gonna pay
In the hands of a hangman In the cold light of day
They're gonna pay In the cold light of day
Oh, in the cold In the cold
light of day
In the cold light of day
