"To The Gallows Born" lyrics

Bring on the final dawn
No one will mourn me when I'm gone
I've always sworn upon the horns
To the gallows born

And so my journey ends at the foot of the Tyburn Tree
I have worn the wolfish head, now I'll pay the penalty
I've ridden the coffin road, I've passed through the lychgate
You can keep running all your life, but you'll never escape your fate

So bring on the final dawn
No one will mourn me when I'm gone
I've always sworn upon the horns
To the gallows born

I'll offer no dying prayer, not a word of remorse
One last glass at the Angel Inn before I tread the boards
Lead me to the scaffold now, I can hear the roar of the crowd
Time to stand at centre stage and take my final bow

Bring on the final dawn
No one will mourn me when I'm gone
I've always sworn upon the horns
To the gallows born

Judge, jury, hangman, now can't you see
What you have done by condemning me?
I'm locked in this life without a key
And so in death you set me free

I've always sworn upon the horns
Always to the gallows born
I've always sworn upon the horns
Always to the gallows born
I've always sworn upon the horns
Always to the gallows born

To the gallows born
To the gallows born
To the gallows born

So bring on the final dawn
No one will mourn me when I'm gone
I've always sworn upon the horns
To the gallows born
