One for the Noose Lyrics
Chorus:
Here she comes on the march to the
End of life, will she plead will she
Beg for mercy or clemency
No such thing as courage
Here we wait for the drop to
Conclude her fate, will she try to
Negotiate in a frenzy of
Fear and dread and abject panic Amelia:
I curse the day you were born
I curse the home in which you dwell
I pray that all that you are
Will putrefy in the farthest reach of Hell
Your fool contempt, your vilipend
Your disregard for human strife
Will be your downfall in the end
I’ll curse your being till my final breath of life

Chorus:
These worshippers are here in the dark appreciation
Venting all their anger here in Newgate Street

Amelia:
Can you not see this corruption?
Will you all ignore the truth?
I curse your name… Jagman!

Chorus:
How can she fall down as far as this?
Thanks to the Lord that we do not share her fate

These worshippers are here to watch in fascination
Certain that the rope will make the show complete
These worshippers are here to watch this execution
Searching for a high view or a front row seat
These worshippers are here in the dark appreciation
Venting all their anger here in
Newgate! Newgate! Newgate!
