And so, I hang, for all them banks.
The gallows creak, under my feet,
My dangerous hands are tied behind my back, behind my back
Any last words?
- The crowd below me stirs -
'Yes, here we go.' Above and below
A sea of vengeance, a sea of vengeance.
My gang are all around,
Their faces above the ground
In another life
In another life
The hangman approaches. I knew him way back
He coaches me, so gently, as if he could, as if he could
I reach for the sky,
Drop my gun and hang 'em high
In another life
In another life
The noose like a black hole
Like a bruise or a hovering face
I used to say get down
Everybody be calm
Nobody will get hurt, nobody will get hurt
I would kill ten men
Just to see her face again,
In another life
In another life
They set me free
I get a late reprieve
In another life
In another life
