(c) James Davies 2005 from the album 'If the Devil played guitar'

Someone was killed
The facts are unclear
The blame was pointed at me
The whispers were heard
Into the spotlight
A pre-written trial
Defense without a hope
Now to meet my death at the end of a rope

Running away from the hangman
He's in my head
He's all the things that I fear most
He wants me dead
I've made mistakes as we all have
But I'm not guilty of this
Oh hangman hear me speak the truth

Always chasing me
Unending misery
My life has come undone
For the rest of my days I'll be on the run
I've been across the desert
Over the sea
I've gone around the bend
But he is still after me

Running away from the hangman
He's in my head
He's all the things that I fear most
He wants me dead
I've made mistakes as we all have
But I'm not guilty of this
Oh hangman hear me speak the truth
