Scaffold

(album: Reign Of Fear - 1986)

No one could have known that
You would end in this way
You gotta face it, it's the end

This world knows no right
They wouldn't see what is truth
They won't believe you're not to blame

No one can say
What's coming your way
And there ain't no way out
They're all looking down

No one makes no sound
Why must it end all in this way
Why, why, why?

The torture's been surmounted now
You told them all they wanted
The pain you've overcome somehow
But what'll come from now on?

Dying and rotting
Will be your destiny
Sooner than nature planned

Where are those who
Loved you they all turned away
And no one will shed a tear

Raise up your eyes
The scaffold awaits
Truth tells no lies
The scaffold awaits

You're left alone in agony
The death blow awaits you
The public is your enemy
For crimes someone must pay

Lying is right
It's an antinomy
But no one gives a shit

What is it, this mankind
A crowd of betrayers
Fearing for their own lives?

Raise up your eyes
The scaffold awaits
Truth tells no lies
The scaffold awaits

Dying and rotting
Will be your destiny
Sooner than nature planned

You thought that
Someone loved you
But they let an
Innocent die

Raise up your eyes
The scaffold awaits
Truth tells no lies
The scaffold awaits

Raise up your eyes
The scaffold awaits
Truth tells no lies
The scaffold awaits

Good or evil
It's in their minds
But they're so careless
Though you've been kind

Take care of treason
Kiss on your cheek
They got perception
But they're too weak

So many voices
Outside the room
They're waiting for you
Await your doom

Lay down your head now
You're gonna die
The scaffold awaits for
Your parting cry
