Hang him higher Lyrics

A little city lies in the green,
Everything quiet and peacefully it seems.
But there's a man ? evil does he seem,
He's like a shadow ? darkened city hills.

One day he came out of the night,
Into the streets ? blowing out the lights.
This was no longer the town that you have known,
Smile and joy were many years ago.

The sun has died ? no longer will it shine
And darkness swallows all daylight.
They disappear - to be never seen again,
Night after night ? he's dancing with the pain.

Refrain:
Hey hey ? hang him higher
He's the devil in disguise
Hey hey ? hang him higher
Death is creeping to his eyes

Spoken:
So it goes some years until the men - a few,
In the forest deep they go hunt the cruel.
They find the one - the beast all insane,
They're still frightened ? beware of that old man.
