The Headsman -trilogy
While finishing up his day, cleaning and dressing up the corpse he had earlier executed, a misunderstanding happens when a peasant sees The Headsman gently handling a bare naked body… Tista (the priestess of the bog) tries to save him but she comes in too late…so the headsman himself also ends up executed, being accused of necrofilia.
The Headsman
The dead shall rise.
I will always follow you
And I will always haunt you
All the souls you ripped off life
Now you will say goodbye
The Headsman you shall turn pale
The dead shall, dead shall prevail
The Headsman, Headsman is dead
The dead have, dead have prevailed
I will sense every breath you take
I’m your worst nightmare when you’re wide awake
And all the pain, terrors and fears
Now you suffer for a thousand years
The Headsman you shall turn pale
The dead shall, dead shall prevail
The Headsman, Headsman is dead
The dead have, dead have prevailed
The Headsman you shall turn pale
The dead shall, dead shall prevail
The Headsman, Headsman is dead
The dead have, dead have prevailed
Hingimoir Karsinomoir (Hingi “Beauty”)
Snap, stab, tie the cord
I will swing the sword or cut you with knife
I will take your life
The body will be whole, graceful and cold
Dress you up nice, you’re mine tonight
No one will thank
These wretched hands
It’s only on me
To keep the sinners clean
No one will thank
These wretched hands
It’s only on me
To keep the sinners clean
The darkest beauty awaits, in the abyss it stays
I’ll drag you in slow, tuck you in with hope
Someday you’ll awake, under the water and slate
Spanning over time, souls whisper divine
No one will thank
These wretched hands
It’s only on me
To keep the sinners clean
No one will thank
These wretched hands
It’s only on me
To keep the sinners clean
No one will thank
These wretched hands
It’s only on me
To keep the sinners clean
No one will thank
These wretched hands
It’s only on me
To keep the sinners clean
But today I will live
The enemies I kill
Until I die
And forever swim
But today I will live (but today I will live)
The enemies I kill (the enemies I kill)
Until I die (‘til the day I die)
And forever swim (and forever swim)
But today I will live (but today I will live)
The enemies I kill (the enemies I kill)
Until I die (until the day I die)
And forever swim (and forever swim)
The Judgement
The judgement day has come
The hooded headsman is hung
He’s brought to the gallows pole
The reign of the monster is gone
While the mob’s asleep, Tista’s on her knees
The body of the Headsman swaying in the wind
Gently lowers him to the ground and then
Drags him to the bog where he’s ‘bout to meet his friends
Oh, oh no
All the crops have gone
Oh, oh no
The famine’s at the door
Trembling hands of mob
Too scared to show his face
Placed the noose around his neck
The evil one is dead
While the mob’s asleep, Tista’s on her knees
The body of the Headsman swaying in the wind
Gently lowers him to the ground and then
Drags him to the bog where he’s ‘bout to meet his friends
Oh, oh no
All the crops have gone
Oh, oh no
The famine’s at the door
Oh, oh no
All the crops have gone
Oh, oh no
The famine’s at the door
Judgement day has come
Judgement day has come
Judgement day has come
Judgement day has come
Judgement day has come
Judgement day has come
Judgement day has come
Judgement day has come
