[Verse 1]
There's a little village near the center of Spain
Where a jealous brother killed a cold-blooded Cain
They had a dirty job that had to be done
When they asked for takers, there was only one

[Chorus]
'Cause I'm the hangman
Yeah, hangman
I'm the hangman, hangman
Hangman

[Verse 2]
I wake at four, wash my hands
Drink to my god, atone for my sins
Walk out to the yard, test the rope
When the dawn breaks, I start to work

[Chorus]
'Cause I'm the hangman
Yeah, hangman
I'm the hangman, yes, I'm the hangman
Hangman

[Bridge]
Make peace with yourself
'Cause I'm the hangman
Hangman, yeah, the hangman
Hangman
[Verse 3]
Feel no guilt, I feel no shame
I return to my family at the end of the day
Sit and watch my son while he's out at play
When he grows to be a man, he'll be just like me

[Chorus]
He'll be a hangman
I'm the hangman
Yeah, hangman, I'm the hangman
Hangman
