Executioner Waits For You by Obituary Pending
Executioner Waits For You
[Intro – Instrumental]
The shadow falls…
Your time draws near…
The executioner waits…
[Verse 1]
The night whispers your name in fear,
Every heartbeat echoes the end is near.
Footsteps in the darkness, cold and precise,
The reaper approaches, sharp as ice.
No prayer can save you, no mercy remains,
The blade is coming, justice unchains.
Eyes wide in terror, you cannot flee,
The executioner waits patiently.
[Pre-Chorus]
Hear the chains rattle, the whetstone sings,
Feel the chill of the fate he brings…
[Chorus]
Executioner waits for you, your doom is near,
No escape from the blade of fear.
Through shadow and steel, through blood and night,
Face the end, succumb to the fight.
[Verse 2]
The torchlight flickers, the gallows loom,
A silent witness to your impending tomb.
Every sin engraved upon your skin,
The executioner grins, the sentence begins.
The crowd falls silent, breath held tight,
No salvation comes in the dead of night.
The air tastes copper, the ground turns red,
Your final hour approaches, dread.
[Bridge – Slow, crushing doom section]
Steel sings through the darkness, the hammer falls,
The weight of justice shakes the walls.
Every scream a hymn, every drop a bell,
In the executioner’s shadow, you dwell.
[Guitar solo]
[Pre-Chorus 2]
Hear the chains rattle, the whetstone sings,
Feel the chill of the fate he brings…
[Chorus]
Executioner waits for you, your doom is near,
No escape from the blade of fear.
Through shadow and steel, through blood and night,
Face the end, succumb to the fight.
[Breakdown – Fast, relentless]
Run if you can, but there’s no way out,
The blade is patient, there’s no doubt.
Thunder cracks, the ropes pull tight,
The executioner strikes in the dead of night.
[Final Chorus – Epic, layered]
Executioner waits for you, embrace your fate,
Through screams and despair, you cannot escape.
Through shadow and steel, through blood and night,
The executioner claims you, in endless fright.
[Outro – Instrumental Fade]
The crowd exhales…
The shadows settle…
The executioner waits… forever…
