I am waiting in this cell
Thinking of killings I was supposed to have done

See them build that wooden frame
As I wait to die
Morbid thoughts hang around my neck
Sentenced to the gallows

See them coming to take me

Sing with the song of Cancer, Sentenced (to The Gallows) lyrics!

I climb the staircase into Hell

Visions of the past sweep my brain
(As) the lever is pulled, I love the pain

See them build that wooden frame
As I wait to die
Morbid thoughts hang around my neck
Sentenced to the gallows

Artist Information

Profile:

John Walker (vocals), Ian Buchanan (bass), and Carl Stokes (drums) formed Cancer back around 1988/1989. Back then, Cancer was a simple Death-Thrash band hevaily influenced by bands such as Slayer but also more commercial groups like Metallica. Their debut, "To the Gory End" was a simplistic and quite banal recording, not really featuring anything new (a look at it's cover should be self-explanatory). What really brought Cancer to fans' attention however, was their second album, "Death Shall Rise". The record featured the infamous James Murphy (guitars), who had previously played in bands such as Disincarnate, Obituary, Konkhra, Testament, Solstice and Death. The third album, "The Sins of Mankind", was less fortunate, as Murphy had decided to leave as it was too hard for him to take part in a UK-based band while living in America. Shortly after the release of "Black Faith" in 1995, Cancer broke up. Cancer was reformed with a new line-up in 2003 and released the EP "Corporation$" in 2004.
