Hangman

[Verse 1]

There's a little village near the center of Spain

Where a jealous brother killed a cold-blooded Cain

They had a dirty job that had to be done

When they asked for takers, there was only one

[Chorus]

'Cause I'm the hangman

Yeah, hangman

I'm the hangman, hangman

Hangman

[Verse 2]

I wake at four, wash my hands

Drink to my god, atone for my sins

Walk out to the yard, test the rope

When the dawn breaks, I start to work

[Chorus]

'Cause I'm the hangman

Yeah, hangman

I'm the hangman, yes, I'm the hangman

Hangman

[Bridge]

Make peace with yourself

'Cause I'm the hangman

Hangman, yeah, the hangman

Hangman

[Verse 3]

Feel no guilt, I feel no shame

I return to my family at the end of the day

Sit and watch my son while he's out at play

When he grows to be a man, he'll be just like me

[Chorus]

He'll be a hangman

I'm the hangman

Yeah, hangman, I'm the hangman

Hangman
