It's early in the morning and the sun slowly appears
Inside a cell a man is waiting, nervous of fear
He knows he's gonna die soon, and no-one's gonna save his soul
Lying on the floor while he waits for the hangman's call
Chorus (2x):
It's a nice day for a hanging - Justice will prevail
It's a nice day for a hanging - A new dawn we will hail
They open up the cell door and take him away
A rope is fetched real tight, so this will be his final day
My friend, how does it feel to have a noose around your neck
The end is near and sadly there ain't no turning back
Chorus (2x)
