The Gallows Shadow

[Verse]

In the land where shadows grow tall

A brother's laughter breaks the call

The gallows swayed where fate was cruel

A tale etched deep in the heart’s old spool

[Chorus]

Oh the rope it whispered low

A warning carved where rivers flow

But his eyes lit with a wild disguise

Laughter danced beneath the skies

[Verse 2]

They took the tribe to witness fear

The noose a symbol ever near

But he wore his scars like mocking grace

A mirror cracked with time’s embrace

[Chorus]

Oh the rope it whispered low

A warning carved where rivers flow

But his eyes lit with a wild disguise

Laughter danced beneath the skies

[Bridge]

What breaks a man may make him sing

Through broken chains the echoes ring

The past may haunt but still he’d jest

A bitter joy carved in his chest

[Verse 3]

Now the shadows hold his tale

A life once tied to justice pale

He laughed to hide the pain’s parade

A haunting joke that time replayed
