The Hanging Tree |
| Walk along the waterfall |
| Watching as the world turns red |
| Wonder where the river flows |
| And the blood on the river bed |
| Poison lies too close to us Reach across the salt and sand |
| Moving deeper into the land |
| Following the waterfall |
| Watching as the world turns green |
| Wonder where the river flows |
| The copper face remains unseen |
| Ignorance has failed to cleanse |
| Reach across the salt and sand |
| Moving deeper into the land |
| Crying as the earth cries out |
| Weeping as the land decays |
| Wonder if I could have helped |
| Maybe I’d have found a way |
| Poison lies too close to us Reach across the salt and sand |
| Moving deeper into the land |
| Cling to the branch of a tree |
| That was waiting for |
| Something to preach |
| Someone to teach |
| The Word was the first |
| And the last to be heard |
| From the branch of the tree |
| It was praying for me to fall down |
| Climb to the top of a tree |
| That was waiting for |
| Someone to warn |
| A life to be torn into |
| Pieces of gold |
| For a soul to be sold |
| And the heart of the tree |
| Was crying for me to come back |
| Take me to the hanging tree |
| There’s a man in the light |
| And he’s pointing at me Guide me to the hanging tree |
| It’s the place that I come from |
| Walk along the waterline |
| Reach across the salt and the sand |
| Moving deeper into the land |
| Take me to the hanging tree |
| There’s a boy in the light |
| And he’s staring at me Take me to the hanging tree |
| It’s the place that I come from |
| Walk along the waterline |
| Reach across the salt and the sand |
| Moving deeper into the land |
| I’m falling… Falling down again! |
