Treading the waters of lost time
The ground beneath began to crumble
As silhouettes loom in the skyline
Why don't you come back down to earth?
Darling you know I would, if you promise me first
Don't lead me down to the gallows
Don't lead me down to the gallows
Though I've racked up quite a debt,
For the reaper to collect
Don't lead me down to the gallows
Searching for answers along the brink
Oh, i haven't slept in days
And I've had a bit too much to drink
I let your love set my soul ablaze
Like a ravenous wildfire, that cannot be tamed
Don't lead me down to the gallows
Don't lead me down to the gallows
Though it's the nature of men, to meet their maker in the end
Don't lead me down the gallows
Floods of nostalgia poured out through the rift
And send us both adrift,
She turned to me and said
Why don't you stay til the morning and lay your heavy head to rest?
Well I've been here before, and I know what happens next
Don't lead me down to the gallows
Don't lead me down to the gallows
Though I've racked up quite a debt,
For the reaper to collect
Don't lead me down to the gallows
