I feel the chains come down on me
I hear the whip cry out with glee
They've come to ride me to my grave
I know my life cannot be saved
The sunrise, the crowd and the laughter
The devil is waiting for me
Ride
Ride to the hangman's tree
At dawn I'll say goodbye
Tonight
There's no one who cries for me
At dawn I lose my life
I ride atop the nightmare steed
Whipping through the wind and trees
Nowhere to run or hide away
I know the noose will seal my fate
The sunrise, the crowd and the laughter
The devil is waiting for me
Ride
Ride to the hangman's tree
At dawn I'll say goodbye
Tonight
There's no one who cries for me
At dawn I lose my life
Ride
Ride to the hangman's tree
At dawn I'll say goodbye
Tonight
There's no one who cries for me
At dawn I lose my life
Ride
Ride to the hangman's tree
At dawn I'll say goodbye
Tonight
There's no one who cries for me
At dawn I lose my life
