lyrics

YOU WON'T CATCH ME AT THE END OF A GIBBET
YOU WON'T CATCH ME AT THE END OF A GIBBET
YOU WON'T CATCH ME AT THE END OF A GIBBET
SO WHY DO YOU TRY TO TRACK ME DOWN WITH IT?

GIBBET HILL IS VICTORIOUS.
PESTILENCE FROM THE NECK THAT BROKE.
FILL THE AIR WITH THE SMELL OF DEATH.
HUNG BY CHAINS.
LET THE CROWS AND RAVENS EAT YOUR FACE
THE MORSELS OF YOUR SKIN AND EYES.

YOU WON'T CATCH ME AT THE END OF A GIBBET
YOU WON'T CATCH ME AT THE END OF A GIBBET
YOU WON'T CATCH ME AT THE END OF A GIBBET
SO WHY DO YOU TRY TO TRACK ME DOWN WITH IT?

HANGING CAGE, CRUCIFIXION RITE.
DANGLING IN A PUBLIC SITE.
I AM WARNED. THEY ARE AFTER ME.
BEST OF LUCK.
AS A MASTER OF THE SEA I LURK WITHIN THE WAVES
AND DISAPPEAR.

AND ALL THE KINGS MEN SEEK ME,
DRAWN AND QUARTERED WEEKLY,
LESS FORTUNATE, SICKLY,
SAILORS FOR THEIR BOUNTY

ARE HUNG OUT TO DRY
IN THE SCORCH OF THE SUN.
LEFT THROUGH THE NIGHT FOR THE CRITTERS TO CHEW UPON,
ROTTING, DECAYED FROM THE SMITE OF THE LORDS,
TRY IT, YOU WON'T CAPTURE MEEEEEE!!!!

YOU WON'T CATCH ME AT THE END OF A GIBBET
YOU WON'T CATCH ME AT THE END OF A GIBBET
YOU WON'T CATCH ME AT THE END OF A GIBBET
SO WHY DO YOU TRY TO TRACK ME DOWN WITH IT?
