lyrics

Drop the lever
Bring on the black mask
No! No!
Don't let me go to the Hangman

Faceless
We're the nameless
We're nothing in your eyes
The difference between us
Is that these words made
Someone change their mind

There was a time I called you my bride
You knew how this would end when you stabbed your love to death
And I saw my life flash before my eyes
You knew when you pulled the trigger
It would take her last breath

These names that we're born with follow us to the grave
Locked in this concrete cell I'm
Nothing but an empty name

Blood took over my mind
Somehow I made it out alive
The forrest as my escape
The moon my only light

There was a time I called you my bride
You knew how this would end when you stabbed your love to death
And I saw my life flash before my eyes
You knew when you pulled the trigger
It would take her last breath

(I didn't do anything
I promise
I didn't do it
It was all in my head
God help me)

You are the pied piper who can make the rats follow suit
When it comes time to pay
My life will will hang in front of you

(You will never be forgiven)

I'm filled with so much hate and I want to set the world on fire.
No! No!
Don't let them take me to the gallows

There was a time I called you my bride
You knew how this would end when you stabbed your love to death
And I saw my life flash before my eyes
You knew when you pulled the trigger
It would take her last breath

I've been tried
15 to life
You turned your back and sold me out
And now I'm being hung out to dry
If I begin to swings
Push me back to center
Let my body fall
Maybe my God can't save us all
At eight sharp, the bell tolls
That's the sound of a dead man walking
