Road to the Scaffold

lyrics

ROAD TO THE SCAFFOLD

Who do you want to make your butcher?
Christ or the devil at your shoulder?..
And your whole life is like a road
Only road to the scaffold

Did you think that hell is fire and the pain?
How do you do wrong ...
Real hell makes me insane
Beat a mark on his forehead
Carve the scars on his back

Hell inside you
Don't forget it

Quiet laughing in your head
They're hunting and calling you
Through the night and there's no return
You forgot that you'll burn

You'll have to pay
Magic has a price
And let everyone talk
There is no way to paradise
You gave a lot to feel it all
And you're ready to die for it

Don't turn from my way

At the end of the path
Your butcher will wait
Life is the road to the scaffold
And it's too late
Let the fire take you
Laugh in the face of the priest
Let him hear your whisper
Who of us is a real beast?

Who is a real beast?

When the fire hugged you
Remembered the one prayer -
Lord, deliver us from evil
And enlighten us the way...

Feel like a demon hugs you in the night
Your soul freezes, but still hopes
That your judge will be kind

But believe that there is justice in this land
Because pain means pain
And no matter by whose hand
Light means light, keep that fire inside
And let the demons dance around
Break the circle tonight

And let the fire burn!
Because pain means pain
And there is no return
Let the fire burn!
I accept my death, smiling right to her face

At the end of the path
Your butcher will wait
Life is the road to the scaffold
And it's too late
Let the fire take you
Laugh in the face of the priest
Let him hear your whisper
Who of us is a real beast?

When the fire hugged you
Remembered the one prayer -
Lord, deliver us from evil
And enlighten us the way...

Feel like a demon hugs you in the night
Your soul freezes, but still hopes
That your judge will be kind
