lyrics

I love you, cause you see into my soul
I love you, cause you see into my soul
My husband he’s bad to the bone
With him I feel I’m all alone
I love you, cause you see into my soul

I love you, cause you respect who I am
I love you, cause you respect who I am
With you I feel so proud and tall
not like a maggot on the floor
I love you, cause you respect who I am

My love, we’re in this together
I’ll do it for you, you’ll do it for me
Soon it all will be better
I will be yours and we will be free
And after the darkest of deeds has been done
we can let go these chains of restraint
When those two are gone, us two can be one
And we’re dancing,
dancing slow on their graves

On Saturday you’ll meet him in this bar
On Saturday you’ll meet him in this bar
When it’s time of last call
It’s time for him to fall
On Saturday you’ll meet him in this bar

She takes the same route to work everyday
She takes the same route to work everyday
When she’s in the blind spot
That’s when you take the shot
She takes the same route to work everyday

My love, we’re in this together
I’ll do it for you, you’ll do it for me
Soon it all will be better
I will be yours and we will be free
And after the darkest of deeds has been done
we can let go these chains of restraint
When those two are gone, us two can be one
And we’re dancing,
dancing slow on their graves

At 2 am I followed him around
At 2 am I followed him around
We went through the back door
Then my body hit the floor
At 3 am my dead body was found

I waited for her in the alleyway
I waited for her in the alleyway
She fired only one shot
From the opposite rooftop
The next day my blood was washed away

My love, they were in this together
He did it for her, she did it for him
Soon it all will be better
I died for yours, you died for my sins
And after the darkest of deeds had been done
we could let go these chains of restraint
Our lives were apart, now we’re buried as one
And they’re dancing,
dancing slow on our grave

about

The Gallows Dance image

The Gallows Dance Finland

Murder ballads, occult folk, melancholic duets, dark roots and black humour. The Gallows Dance brings old folk songs back to life, and keeps alive the tradition of story-telling with tales about death and sorrow, with an oddly cheerful twist. The gloomy atmosphere is combined with rattling chains, twangy banjo, screaming guitar, and harmonica. ... more
