#GothicAdvent Day 3:
Ring the bells and pull the carts,
Watch the wretched pierce their hearts,
The pit men cough as they start their dig,
None escape the Tyburn jig!Creaking goes the rope at night,
The wheezing gasps of life's last fight,
Hand the bottle for one last swig,
Your last dance is the Tyburn jig.Let us travel to the Tyburn Tree, the ancient gallows of Old London Town. The Tyburn gallows were last used on 3 November 1783, when John Austin, a #highwayman, was hanged.
Tradition says, that sometimes, at this time of year when the cold nights grow hard in the silence you can hear the necks crack.
Listen heard enough and you can still hear and bodies swinging from this grim old tree. Creak... Creak.. Creak...
