It Won't Be Long

[00:19.61] He kept his craft confined to the night
[00:24.35] Subdued by sleep, we hate to wake up.
[00:32.98] He cataloged and counted his kills, divided the dead,
[00:40.53] And suddenly stopped.
[00:46.39] Prompted by the heat of July,
[00:50.25] The sweat on his skin beaded and fell.
[00:59.26] He never prayed a day in his life...
[01:02.81] Cause man what's the point when you've been promised to hell.
[01:37.28] There's something to be said for the crowd,
[01:40.87] Which gathered and grew and erupted into song.
[01:49.29] He smiled, as he toyed with the noose, and took up their words.
[01:56.81] Oh, it won't be long.
[02:02.40] Oh, it won't be long [x4]
[02:42.42] The tune collapsed, and the mob ceased their song...
[02:59.09] Confused and in awe of the monster trained to sing.
[03:07.46] The hangman tightened up and leaned in,
[03:11.72] And offered the man a chance to speak before he'd swing.
[03:18.83] He cried out:
[03:20.55] "Man and monsters both make mistakes.
[03:24.00] But for every man who cries and begs for time enough to grieve.
[03:31.81] You'll find a million more monsters like me.
[03:37.64] Who'll lick our wounds and laugh when we leave."
[03:43.30] Then the trap door released.
[03:48.84] Oh, it won't be long.
