XII: The Hanged Man Lyrics


Motionless

A man hanged up high

Lord Tranquillity

Is cruel lover

Forlorn heart

You were the tree

Now your world

Turns upside down

You suffocate

In the mouth of darkness

Nothing remains

You surrender

And sacrifice

All you have and more

Release your fear

Of losing all

Vultures sing a dirge above gallows

Hanged man don’t move

Don’t try to move!

Vultures sing a dirge above gallows

Hanged man, oh you

Can endure more!

As your spirit’s close to wither

The taste of life is bitter

You search for hope and fight but

Ropes are so tight!

And you’re bound to breathe but I know

There’s pain behind your last frozen dance

Searching for hope your fingers grope

The rope, the rope!
