Bilingual
The clock in the tower
Is now striking one
To whom can I turn to?
To whom can I run?
It says in The Good Book
"An eye for an eye"
A life I have taken
Tomorrow I die
Build my gallows high
Dig my grave down deep
Perhaps when it's over
I'll be able to sleep
The clock in the tower
Is now striking three
I hope there is someone
A praying for me
I sit in the jailhouse
Awaiting the dawn
A road will be waiting
A life will be gone
Build my gallows high
Dig my grave down deep
Perhaps when it's over
I'll be able to sleep
The clock in the tower
Is now striking five
In just a few moments
The guards will arrive
This sad world I'm leaving
And as I depart
The clock in the tower
Will stop with my heart
Build my gallows high
Dig my grave down deep
Perhaps when it's over
I'll be able to sleep
