The Shys – The Hangman lyrics

I'll tell you a story about a man I knew
No Direction to the things he'd do
He never lied Never Compromised
Never Judge you with judging eyes

He didn't mind if you told your story
About love death faith and glory girl

Why Love? Why Hope?
The Hangman is going to tighten the rope
Why must I try neither or us could sympathize

Young mother with a tear in her eye
She never bothered to sympathize
As her son lets out his last breath
One moment closer to death she says

Why Love? Why Hope?
Hangman just tighten the rope
Why must I try? Neither of us could sympathize
