THE HANGMAN
Today is my last day, I am a castaway
The hangman never fails, punishment fits the crime
I never hoped or dreamt to be wed to a rope
I tried to make amends, sorry
I see shadows, joy and sorrows
Men dressed in black in my back
I see shadows, joy and sorrows
Men dressed in black in my back
Someday I will lead the way, that’s all I wish to say
I tried to make amends, this is my sorry end, oh lord !
I see shadows, joy and sorrows
Men dressed in black in my back
On these gallows, hallowed by my woes
Ghosts of the past cloud my eyes
I see shadows, joy and sorrows
Men dressed in black
I see shadows, joy and sorrows
Men dressed in black in my back
I see shadows, joy and sorrows
Men dressed in black in my back
I see shadows, joy and sorrows
Dancing widow in my back, dancing shadows
Ghost of the past, cloud my eyes
I see shadows, joy and sorrows
Dancing widow in my back, dancing shadows
Ghost of the past, cloud my eyes
Hanging on to dear life
I see shadows, joy and sorrows
Dancing widow, in my back
Hanging on to dear life
I see shadows, joy and sorrows
All dressed in black on the rack
Welcome back my friends to the show that never ends ;-)
In other words, this is a real treat for fans of classic ELP - or keyboard-driven early 70s prog - fans, more generally.
Perhaps a little less virtuosic than the forefathers, but surely with a sharp (knife-)edge.
Fun-fact: Helmsman and keyboardist Thor Erik Helgesen normally plays guitar in a black metal band ;-) Carsten Pieper

For some reason, what I previewed and the real songs was somewhat different - maybe because of the cover art?
But I definitely don't regret something more spacial than expected. The recent Ocean drifting in space. frankwurst
