Bewitched Lyrics

Sunrise I greet you, the beauty of your light

so warm and tender was never the night

In tears I see you, the last time it will be

so give me your blessing, I'll meet my destiny

No rest for the Sinner

Hypnos refused me my sleep

This was the last night of my life

with wine I pondered on my deeds

I drank to the devil with servants

It's good with a friend where you go

No one would share my last chalice

So I drink to the ones that I know

Ring brother, ring for me

Ring the bells of hope and faith

Ring for my damnation

I am at the gallows end

With sad emotions, I sing this epitaph

my swansong, my headstone, the farewell of my heart

The hills of Tyburn, up where the gallows stand

only the vultures will come to see me hang

Behold the sight of my Golgatha

the gallows enlightened by the moon

proud of his art are the carpenter

his creation a tool for my doom

I am the outcast no winner

I am the fallen the one

that lived all his life as a sinner

The Tempter has called me his son

Ring brother, ring for me

Ring the bells of hope and faith

Ring for my damnation

I am at the gallows end

Soon it is time the dark has now fled

and I see the place for my death

the priest he will pray for my lost soul

I'm sure he's wasting his time

A sinner, a fool or a devil

or just a victim of life

It's no fun to burn in hell's fire

but I sure have enjoyed my life

Ring brother, ring for me

Ring the bells of hope and faith

Ring for my damnation

I am at the gallows end
