lyrics

Six men arrived with a priest at their side
And began to tread towards their prey
Perched upon an oak, the unyielding, wicked foe
Gazed upon the hunters of the crow

There's no god to deliver you from the anguish you deserve
Succumb to her snare and like pendelums swing

It didn't take too long before the pistols were all drawn
Fixed at the noose and bone burdened tree
And when they yelled in ire, the guns they did not fire
Then silence but for the thud of earth and iron

There's no god to deliver you from the anguish you deserve
Succumb to her snare and like pendelums swing

One by one they climbed upon the gallow's arms
Bewitched by the fires in her eyes
Fashioning their throats, zealous for the rope
Seven men amused the cackling judge

There's no god to deliver you from the anguish you deserve
Succumb to her snare and like pendelums swing

The cavalry arrived, but the steeds refused to ride
Towards the grim timber tomb ahead
Falling to his knees the marshall wept and screamed
At the sight of all his brethren's lifeless smiles

There's no god to deliver you from the anguish you deserve
Succumb to her snare and like pendelums swing

There's no god to deliver you from the anguish you deserve
Succumb to her snare and like pendulums swing
