The echo of my heartbeat is the beating of a drum And all the earth is singing with life's sweet hum We filed in solemn silence, shuffled through a door The place where life is taken for the letter of the law (Chorus) Shake the holy water, summon up the guard Dying's very easy, waiting's very hard A rope was hanging from the roof, a sight which puzzles me I thought a gibbet and a guard would make a gallows tree But now all is revealed, stamped there is the command My feet are on the trapdoor with a rope around my hand And now the executioner is shaking hands with me Related Lyrics Random lyrics: She Moves Through the Fair, Si Tu Dois Partir, Sickness & Diseases, Sir Patrick Spens, Sir William Gower, Sloth, Stranger to Himself, Sun Shade, Tale in Hard Time, Tam Lin, The Bonny Black Hare, The Deserter, The Hexhamshire Lass, The Journeymans Grace, The Journeymans Grace, The Lobster, The Summer Before The War, The Widow Of Westmorlands Daughter, Three Drunken Maidens, Time Will Show the Wiser, To Althea from Prison, Walk Awhile, What Is True?, White Dress, Who Knows Where the Time Goes, Wizard Of The Worldly Game, Ye Mariners All, Alaska, Blood On The Pages, Burn Bridges Keep Warm, Casting Curses, Concrete Atlas, I Dread The Time When Your Mouth Begins To Call Me Hunter, I Dread The Time Your Mouth Beings To Call Me Hunt, If They Move Kill Them, Letter Of Intent, Lusitania, Mercer Island, Motion Sickness, Next Day Flight, Silent Jury, Slow To Standing, Soundtrack To The Ride, South St 1 Am, South Street 1AM, Still Paradise, The Culling Song, The Treachery Of Images, Welcome To Last Year, Whatever It Takes, Other Fairport Convention song Lyrics A Sailors Life Lyrics After Halloween Lyrics Angel Delight Lyrics Autopsy Lyrics The Banks Of Sweet Primroses Lyrics Big William Lyrics Book Song Lyrics Bring em Down Lyrics Bring Em Down Lyrics Cajun Woman Lyrics Chelsea Morning Lyrics ...Show All Other Artists Fairweather Lyrics Fairyland Lyrics Fairytale Lyrics Faith Lyrics Faith And The Muse Lyrics Faith Blind Lyrics Faith Evans Lyrics Faith Evans F/ 112 Lyrics Faith Evans F/ Carl Thomas Lyrics Faith Evans F/ Mary J.
