lyrics

Every breath that you take is one less/that remains
Till the noose takes your last
Every day is a chance you will not get back
Every sound that you hear is a door slamming shut
And the weight/that you feel
Is the rough and unmerciful touch
Of the hangman's glove


We fall slow
Not for us the sudden plunge and the quick stop,
But the dull panic of a crushed windpipe

We stand in line with our death-hoods on
Each in turn is marched off to his fate
Throats too choked to voice our rage
Backs broken by the weight

Time, time is a noose
From which we hang ourselves
Feel its fibers round your neck
Coarse unyielding in its grasp
When the noose tightens
Who will be there to stand
Witness to your end
Who, who will cut you down?
