The Noose from Ontario by Noon Tangent

I climb the stairs and I see that we're all standing on the gallows
The audience cheers for a hanging and our hands are bound
But we must hold the line 'till the end
To see it through

And one night I'll lie awake and I'll realize it's not too late 'cause
I decided to put this noose around my neck
To show that I am not afraid to do what must be done

I feel the noose tighten and I wonder how the others feel on the gallows
As we wait for someone to tell us that it's over now
And I cannot wait to go home
Just let me go

And one night I'll lie awake and I'll realize it's not too late 'cause
I decided to put this noose around my neck
To show that I am not afraid to do what must be done

I remember thinking how easy it would be to stand on the gallows
As the executioner checks to see if I am ready
And they pull a black bag over my head
'Cause the darkness helps

And one night I'll lie awake and I'll realize it's not too late 'cause
I decided to put this noose around my neck
To show that I am not afraid to do what must be done
