Track DescriptionAvailable in:
This is one of the angriest songs that David Cousins ever composed.
It deals with the execution of a papist in an unamed village, where great crowds gather.
There is an anger and passion in this song, and DC captures it superbly. his lyrics are powerful and intense.
The 3 verses deal with the building of the scaffold, the papists last night in his cell and the hangmans fear and terror when he realises the man he is about to hang is his own brother.
The songs appears on the From The Witchwood album and also on the compilation A Choice Selection of Starwbs from 1993. The song features extraordinary keybaord wrok from Rick Wakeman, and the playing of Tony Hooper is great too, his acoustic guitar underpins the song. All in all a chilling tale, wonderfully told and performed and one song you wont forget quickly.
