The Alderman's Noose
Curse, curse, the alderman's noose!
Curse, curse, hell let loose!
To the gallows I did walk
In the crowd death did stalk
Curse, curse, the alderman's noose!
Curse, curse, hell let loose!
In a moment, a short drop
In a moment, a swift stop
Curse, curse, the alderman's noose!
Curse, curse, hell let loose!
The rope tightens around my neck
On my flesh the crows did peck
Haunt, haunt, the alderman's thought!
Hell, hell, I hath brought!
Curse, curse, hell let loose!
To the gallows I did walk
In the crowd death did stalk
Curse, curse, the alderman's noose!
Curse, curse, hell let loose!
In a moment, a short drop
In a moment, a swift stop
Curse, curse, the alderman's noose!
Curse, curse, hell let loose!
The rope tightens around my neck
On my flesh the crows did peck
Haunt, haunt, the alderman's thought!
Hell, hell, I hath brought!

Author's Note
I wanted write a kind of nursery rhyme. A dark nursery rhyme. If it gets stuck in your head then I did my job.

Haha! I never really thought of it like that, but now that you mentioned it that's exactly what it sounds like.
