Lyrics

The Last Hangman

Your northern soul
So filthy and so corrupt
The noose wrapped so tight around the throat
And those sweaty palms
That lay upon the corpse like a call to arms
That lay upon the corpse like a call to arms
A call to arms
A call to arms
A call to arms

Albert shows no reprieve
Albert shows no reprieve
Albert shows no reprieve
Albert shows no reprieve

And her pretty eyes, dangerous and deluded led to his demise
And for each man and woman hung
The last hangman's morality sung
Like I've said
For each man and woman hung
The last hangman's morality sung
For each man and woman hung
The last hangman's morality sung

Take them to the stocks
And leave them to rot
Take them to the stocks
And leave them to rot
Take them to the stocks
And leave them to rot, to rot, to rot

Help the poor struggler's last orders ring
Pierrepoint's code of what's right and what's wrong clash and they cling
Here sails the ship of the hangman's legacy
Heading just north of the port of moral reclamation
Albert Pierrepoint's desired destination

Take them to the stocks
And leave them to rot
Take them to the stocks
And leave them to rot
Take them to the stocks
And leave them to rot, to rot, to rot

Albert shows no reprieve
Albert shows no reprieve
Albert shows no reprieve
Albert shows no reprieve
And for each man and woman hung
The last hangman's morality sung
