Chad VanGaalen - Hangman's Son lyrics

He was the hangman's son Wouldn't crack a smile til' the deal was done He was the only one Laughing as he sang that we all shall hang Oh, have mercy On the demons that curse me Oh, lay it on me When my time has come and I don't have the sense to run He was the hangman's son He said every day's a curse and the curse just gets worse And now your on the run You can smell his dirty work 'cause now you wear his shirt
