At the foot of the gallows
The sinners stand
Defiant hearts
Refusing God's command
Father and mother
Their wisdom spurned
To the hangman's noose
They are turned
Obey obey or face the wrath
The breaking wheel death's dark path
The hangman's rope death's strong band
You will obey the Skeleton Man
So many Knaves and fools
Men without fear
Broken upon the wheel
They would not hear
Look to the Raven Stone
The headsman waits
Your disobedience
Leads to the grave
Obey obey or face the wrath
The breaking wheel death's dark path
The hangman's rope death's strong band
You will obey the Skeleton Man
We should fear and love (God)
That we may not despise
Nor anger parents and masters
But heed their counsel wise
Give them honor
Serve and obey
Hold them in love and esteem
Never betray
Obey obey or face the wrath
The breaking wheel death's dark path
The hangman's rope death's strong band
You will obey the Skeleton Man
Obey obey or face the wrath
The breaking wheel death's dark path
The hangman's rope death's strong band
You will obey the Skeleton Man
