lyrics

You brought me here so listen
as if you got other ways to choose
I refuse to preach in a circus
to all you heretics and fools
This is our final service
so clap your hands while you can
Now hear his message through me
You won’t fit in his holy plan

Keep your eyes open
for the greatest show in the world
There’s Father’s divine love for some
and the rest of you shall burn
This Sunday it’s your turn to be
our sacrificial lamb
Here I am, sitting on my throne
And in the end, we are all alone

Hear me, the church of Hopeless
You were not born to understand
Sit on your bench and listen
The Word, The Order, The Command
Some got the gift of preaching
and some were destined to be damned
I am your only master
so you shall praise my name and stand

Keep your eyes open
for the greatest show in the world
There’s Father’s divine love for some
and the rest of you shall burn
This Sunday it’s your turn to be
our sacrificial lamb
Here I am, sitting on my throne
And in the end, we are all alone

I write the rules of my temple
Don’t hear no words of reading man
I guard the gates of heaven
Don’t question me, I surely can
It’s time of reformation
You can’t oppose the chosen one
The judgement day is nearing
And there’s not room for everyone

Keep your eyes open
for the greatest show in the world
There’s Father’s divine love for some
and the rest of you shall burn
This Sunday it’s my turn to be
your sacrificial lamb
Here I am, brought down from my throne
in the end I am alone

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
