lyrics

BUILD MY GALLOWS HIGH

‘Hey you!’ the spirit called out loud
‘Come rest a while with me.
Speak in strictest confidence
On everything you see
Yeah, and it will go no further
Than outside of these four walls.
So put a ring around temptation
That’s as wide as it is tall.’

Chorus:
And I said, ‘My, my
You can build my gallows high
My, my, my
Build them right up to the sky
If you give me a reason why
My, my
You can build my gallows

High, high, high.’

He said, ‘You owe no due to humanity,
Seems war is all they wage
Yeah, you can veil your efforts
But you cannot veil your rage
Yeah, and it will come to nothing
Till you reach the promised land
Yeah, and good feels so much better
With some evil in your hand
With some evil in your hand

Chorus

‘Build ‘em up high.’

Chorus
