The Gallows' Promise - Solothus

Dawn’s first light drowned in the mist

I gaze into the rain which seems endless

Death uttered my name in the night

This morning she shall come for me

The darkened procession begins their march, always forward

The woods seem to weep as the sinner walks forth

Upon the hill, the crowd stands solemn

Like vultures, here for the flesh

Empty and lifeless are their eyes

So hungry for the song of bone

The rain keeps on pouring down

Oh how I would love to see the sun

Just for that one last time

Rope and hood deny my wish

With one swift move my world turns black

Final dance alone with the northern winds

I told you, here you will die, the gallows' promise
