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 |
