A threatening presence still wanders my mind
Roaming bleak corridoors of horror defined
Nightmarish figure avoiding all sight
strangely enticing in its own right!

Memories of my past murders
leaving me wanting, and writhing in the cold
This prison surrounding, built of old stone
and covered with wet mould

A ghost in the darkness I am
A ghost, before the light!
A ghost in the darkness I am
A ghost, before the dimming light!

Awaiting my hanging to come, the punishment to tease me
The noose to be fastened tight round my neck
Will I rot before the gallows drop?

My mind running to the gallows, where the drop awaits
The air is good for nothing

A ghost in the darkness I am
A ghost, before the light!
A ghost in the darkness I am
A ghost, before the dimming light!

As the midnight fog enters, I choke, but I am still alive!

My mind corrupt, drowning in a fog of depravity and silence
This long rope tightens tighter round my throat!
My body lies still, yet superstition remains!

Suddenly, one last hatefilled outcry!
“Your daughters sobbed and wept”!
