Sing Me to the Gallows
TitanChord
Don't pray for me, don't pull no string
Don't ask for mercy, don't make it sing
Don't write my name in any stone
Don't make the trip up here alone
And the sun's coming up like a borrowed thing
And the platform creaks like a wedding ring
And the priest's got nothing left to say
And the rope's been waiting on this day
Sing me to the gallows, sing me to the gallows
Drum me to the open sky
Don't let the silence get me first
Sing me hard, sing me high
There's a face in the crowd that I used to know
There's a child in the back I owe
There's a debt nobody's gonna pay
And the sheriff's got nothing left to say
And the sun's coming up like a borrowed thing
And the platform creaks like a wedding ring
And the priest's got nothing left to say
And the rope's been waiting on this day
Sing me to the gallows, sing me to the gallows
Drum me to the open sky
Don't let the silence get me first
Sing me hard, sing me high
Some men go quiet, some men go small
Some men whisper at the wall
Some men beg, some men fall
I want every man to call
Sing me to the gallows, sing me to the gallows
Drum me to the open sky
Don't let the silence get me first
Sing me hard, sing me high
Sing me hard, sing me high
Sing me hard, sing me high
Timing is estimated — lines are spaced evenly across the track.

Lyrics
Don't pray for me, don't pull no string Don't ask for mercy, don't make it sing Don't write my name in any stone Don't make the trip up here alone
And the sun's coming up like a borrowed thing And the platform creaks like a wedding ring And the priest's got nothing left to say And the rope's been waiting on this day
Sing me to the gallows, sing me to the gallows Drum me to the open sky Don't let the silence get me first Sing me hard, sing me high
There's a face in the crowd that I used to know There's a child in the back I owe There's a debt nobody's gonna pay And the sheriff's got nothing left to say
And the sun's coming up like a borrowed thing And the platform creaks like a wedding ring And the priest's got nothing left to say And the rope's been waiting on this day
Sing me to the gallows, sing me to the gallows Drum me to the open sky Don't let the silence get me first Sing me hard, sing me high
Some men go quiet, some men go small Some men whisper at the wall Some men beg, some men fall I want every man to call
Sing me to the gallows, sing me to the gallows Drum me to the open sky Don't let the silence get me first Sing me hard, sing me high Sing me hard, sing me high Sing me hard, sing me high
