The Scaffold — текст песни (Rage)

[Music by Wagner/Schroeder/Gruning, lyrics by Wagner]

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?

Dyin` 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

[Chorus:]
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 crime 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?

[Chorus]

Dyin` and rotting will be your destiny
sooner than nature planned
You thought that someone loved you, but they let an
innocent die

[Chorus]

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
