[bodytext] => once they had lives, love, and laughter then they met unwillingly with the hereafter now they are the ghosts of the gallows just wandering around, and lurking in the shadows you can hear them weeping, crying for life their voices distant and dull, but as sharp as a knife they are sad, sorry for their earthly sins they loiter in the passageways of lifeless and empty inns they haunt the place where they came to fate they are lost, weary, in a confused state their world is upside down, and extremely dark a reality as hopeless seeming, as it is stark they are not ghouls, nor are they beasts they have hunger, it is of life that they feast their final memories are much of a shame but they have only their former selves to blame blame for their untimely and unfortunate end when into this altered existence their souls did blend when they dangled freely from a hangman's noose until their swinging bodies were eventually cut loose their vessels dropped with a horrible sound then they were committed forever to unholy ground so they are sorrowful and full of gloom still weeping, and waiting for a lovely tomb if you should encounter them, do not be of fright just wish them well, and bid to them a goodnight...
