about

Recorded at Tomcast Sound

lyrics

Somebodys gotta do it
So who am I to blame
They never even see my face
or know my name
Cause when that floor drops out below
They dangle all the same
Cause ever since I was a little boy
I loved to watch em hang

I could see them at the galows
Lined up for what they done
And as the hangman noosed them up
they'd fall one by one
While the other kids would play
I was watchin having fun
And I knew when I grew up
I wanted to be the one

To lead the dance of death
And the crowd cheers along
As their dying feet
stomp out their dying song

Just like that noose was a hook
They were strung up like a worm
And that rope casts them down To hell
for their souls to burn
I watched a hundred men die
And theres one thing I learned
That there aint no use in holding back
when it comes your turn

To lead the dance of death
And the crowd cheers along
As their dying feet
stomp out their dying song

It takes a certain kinda fella
to do the work I do
But I sure do get a lot of thrills
for all the kills I go through
The only difference between
Me and that fool in the noose
Is my body count keeps risin'
But thats the job that I do

To lead the dance of death
And the crowd cheers along
As their dying feet
stomp out their dying song
