In the Shadow of the Hangman's Noose Lyrics

In the house of mourning

Wisdom can be learned

For death is the destiny of everyone

And the living should take this to heart

Our entire lives spent

In the shadow of the hangman's noose

It's only a matter of time

Before the teaching of life's cruel truth

There's a beauty in mortality

That there's a finite amount of time to appreciate life's beauty

To fill every second with love and humility

And find joy amongst life's absurdity

Our entire lives spent

In the shadow of the hangman's noose

It's only a matter of time

Before the teaching of life's cruel truth

An entire life in preparation

With the shadow of death beside us

Although we die alone

We live together under the sun
