Magpie Charm – A Fine Day For A Hanging (The Executioners Dirge) lyrics
Verse
Gather all ye here deemed cut throats & misfits
Your time is nigh for a swing'n
Your souls are required for an honest days pay
'Cause its a fine day for a hanging
The Vultures, The Magpies, Them RooKs
And Them Crows, need to savor a feast
It's a fine day for swing'n, & I need my livin',
And I've come for my meat.
Verse
You'll swing by your head until you are dead
That's that's the price you will pay
On The Gallows you'll sway liKe over ripe fruit
'til all your limbs stop a twitch'n
Now this hole in the ground where the maggots
Are found is your act of contrition
Lord save them your children who have lived
With no wisdom, please show them the way ...
Verse
I won't do much cryin', as I watch ye die'n
I'll celebrate you anyway
I get paid by the pound & this is your round
More weight the merrier they say
On The Gallows ye'll stand
While the trap door is manned
The sand bags rightly in place
The trap door slams open
And necKs will be broKen
Verse
When last rites are spoKen, your lives'l be toKen
This is how it shall be ...
When you succumb to the death birds song
Your unshacKled & free
I weigh up my dead, to the next town I head
Another job for me
The Hangmans goal is sweet justice for thee
Please say a prayer for me ...
Gather all ye here deemed cut throats & misfits
Your time is nigh for a swing'n
Your souls are required for an honest days pay
'Cause its a fine day for a hanging
The Vultures, The Magpies, Them RooKs
And Them Crows, need to savor a feast
It's a fine day for swing'n, & I need my livin',
And I've come for my meat.
Verse
You'll swing by your head until you are dead
That's that's the price you will pay
On The Gallows you'll sway liKe over ripe fruit
'til all your limbs stop a twitch'n
Now this hole in the ground where the maggots
Are found is your act of contrition
Lord save them your children who have lived
With no wisdom, please show them the way ...
Verse
I won't do much cryin', as I watch ye die'n
I'll celebrate you anyway
I get paid by the pound & this is your round
More weight the merrier they say
On The Gallows ye'll stand
While the trap door is manned
The sand bags rightly in place
The trap door slams open
And necKs will be broKen
Verse
When last rites are spoKen, your lives'l be toKen
This is how it shall be ...
When you succumb to the death birds song
Your unshacKled & free
I weigh up my dead, to the next town I head
Another job for me
The Hangmans goal is sweet justice for thee
Please say a prayer for me ...
