The Old Oak |
Do you remember the bridge? |
The bridge that was standing in ruin |
Do you remember the sign? |
Demons and witches were doing |
They say it’s a bad place |
They say it’s a magic place |
Deep down under |
The soil of this unholy land |
Deep down under |
The roots of a tree they have damned |
It’s the Old Oak Hanging Tree |
It’s the Old Oak Hanging Tree |
Nothing will grow in the ground |
The Old Oak is killing it all |
If you are ever around |
Beware of the Oak and its charm |
It’s the Old Oak Hanging Tree |
It’s the Old Oak Hanging Tree |
The Old Oak might make you blind |
The Old Oak might trick your eyes |
Hypnotized… |
It’s a bad sign |
When the Autumn comes and the leaves are gone |
Oh it’s a bad sign |
The Oak must feed in order to breed |
Bad sign… Bad sign |
It’s a bad sign when the Autumn comes |
And the leaves are gone |
It’s a nightmare found |
I wonder… what made this magic tree so |
Hang with me, hang with the hangman |
Another season in another century |
Hang with me, hang with the hangman |
Blood from the madmen we hung in that tree |
Blood to the ground |
Blood to the roots… Red |
All around the Old Oak |
Deep into the ground they buried them |
Indians of ancient times |
Saw it as a holy shrine |
Can you believe, sacrificing their own |
Must have been a mighty GOD |
To receive a gift of life |
All the people must have known |
Happiness would come if sown |
Can you believe, sacrificing their own |
The Old Oak might make you blind |
The Old Oak might trick your eyes |
Hypnotized… |
No! |
Don’t hang with me |
As I go back to the Old Oak tree |
