lyrics

I should’ve guessed tonight
will be the night of sin
I walked down to the end of the lake
with a smile instead of a grin
In the distance I saw a glooming light
from the cabin on a hill
I’ve been down this road for so long
my feet they’ve started to ache
The sunset is as red as wine
and it’s way too much to take
Tonight me and the demons
are the only ones awake

I should’ve known better
oh lord I should have known
In times like these you never walk alone
I should’ve known better
oh lord I should have known
I should have known
not to take this gravel road

The night is at its peak
and I’m not feeling strong
The railway tracks are long gone now,
so I’d better keep moving on
The only things beside me are
the darkness and this song
I tossed the coin at the crossroads,
which one left or right
When I saw two burning headlights
I suddenly felt blind
In this kingdom of fear
you buy the ticket and take the ride

I should’ve known better
oh lord I should have known
In times like these you never walk alone
I should’ve known better
oh lord I should have known
I should have known
not to take this gravel road

Then I woke up all the sudden
to the most disturbing sound
I was standing on the edge and there
was none but you around
That time I was lost and not to be found
I looked down to the pit
and saw an open grave
i screamed and started running back
towards the light of day
From the distance demon shouted
“you’re the one that got away”

I should’ve known better
oh lord I should have known
In times like these you never walk alone
I should’ve known better
oh lord I should have known
I should have known
not to take this gravel road

about

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
