Hangman

I know that death hides in my eyes

and screams from my song

I've left the bright lights,

left for the river without bridges

Slow and silent;

in its waters I can dream of peace

I know of no hope

Down and into the flood will be my way

And to my hangman I will bow

My scaffold will follow me down

Sing as the soul falls

Over the water your voice lingers

Just be by my side

when the river sweeps my feet away

Though I gave you no hope

and all your love I repaid with pain

I will go down

Stay with me

My light is all gone

Stay with me
