Rage - Scaffold

Music: Wagner/Schroeder/Gruning Lyrics: Wagner No one could have known that you would end in this way You gotta face it, it's the end This world knows no right, they wouldn't see what is truth They won't believe you're not to blame No one can say – what's coming your way And there ain't no way out They're all looking down No one makes no sound Why must it end all in this way, why, why? The torture's been surmounted now you told them all they wanted The pain you've overcome somehow but what'll come from now on? Dyin' and rotting will be your destiny Sooner than nature planned Where are those who loved you they all turned away And no one will shed a tear Raise up your eyes The scaffold awaits Truth tells no lies The scaffold awaits You're left alone in agony The death blow awaits you The public is your enemy For crime someone must pay Lying is right – it's an antinomy But no one gives a shit What is it, this mankind, a crowd of betrayers Fearing for their own lives? Raise up your eyes The scaffold awaits Truth tells no lies The scaffold awaits Dyin' and rotting will be your destiny sooner than nature planned You thought that someone loved you, but they let an innocent die Raise up your eyes The scaffold awaits Truth tells no lies The scaffold awaits Good or evil – it's in their minds But they're so careless, though you've been kind Take care of treason, kiss on your cheek They got perception, but they're too weak So many voices outside the room They're waiting for you, await your doom Lay down your head now – you're gonna die The scaffold awaits for your parting cry
