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
