Why beg for mercy when the smell of death is on the wind Why drown in sorrow when we know the end's soon to begin The lies bring forth the lier The noose is getting tighter Bury me father I have sinned So in this hour of death I calmly choose to shed no tears Silent remember me as I become your darkest fear Gather around me now to watch the gallows fall I sacrifice this soul to return to kill you all Bury me father I have sinned I'm welcoming the end And with this my last breath I find the strength to rise To share this one last glimpse of terror in your eyes Why beg for mercy when the smell of death is on the wind Why drown in sorrow when we know the end's soon to begin The lies bring forth the lier The noose is getting tighter
