The Hanging Soldier
Lyricist:Mark Edward Adams, Kingsley Eldon Fowley, Gregory Michael Smith, Lesley Thomas Snyder
Between life and death there is something more That each of us will view And when the moment is right for your death to arrive Then it will come looking for you
And as in this tale to follow Now it's never too late to die For the story of what did happen to one May truly twist your mind
Your mind, your mind Your mind, your mind
Clutched within the hangman's noose A man swings in the air For in the grip of total war Death is quick and most unfair
For on the grounds of northern state Sat the southern man to die With a choking rope placed 'round his neck He enters into his mind
Run, run, runaway You want innocence and life Far, far faraway You must leave this place or die
He prayed for all his loved ones And that God would bring him home As the hangman sneered and watched him suffer He knew his time and come
But he found himself now falling down To the water that sat below Find more lyrics at ※ Mojim.com For the rope had snapped and cheated death Giving him a chance to run
So run, run! Runaway Back to innocence and life Far, far faraway From this place you were to die
You are the hanging soldier The one who cheated death By name the hanging soldier Alive, but will it last?
You are the hanging soldier Answered prayers have set you free By name the hanging soldier But a false world's what you see
Eyes seeing sights of peace not war Dying processed mind, it slowly fails you Sights seeing lies of peace not war Dying processed sights, hallucinations
Eyes seeing sights of peace not war Dying processed mind, it slowly fails you Sights seeing lies of peace not war Dying processed sights
The man has died
Yes, it is sad how the story does end As we return once again to the noose For from a dangling rope with a neck that is broke Was the soldier who died all too soon
