The Hanging Tree Lyrics


An ancient ogre castle

Beyond the witching well

A sword against the darkness

The serpents evil spell

The coming of a warrior

The empress of the skies

The hour of the dragon

A forest full of eyes

Men of the shadows

Priest of the gallows

Strange things did happen here

Under the moonlight

Of the hanging tree

A lonely place of dying

A paradox of hope

There's thunder on the mountain

An unforgiving rope

Valley of the outlaw

Where dead men don't lie

Death in the saddle

Ten thousand ways to die

Men of the shadows

Priest of the gallows

Strange things did happen here

Under the moonlight

Of the hanging tree

I will sacrifice

What is left of me

"I passed the sentence of death

And we found us this tree

Now this here is your opportunity to speak your piece

Before your sentence is carried out."

The land of tomorrow

A sea of howling stones

The spirits of Stonehenge

And all the hanging bones

In a world of Immortals

The last sword of power

Shards of broken Earth

This will be our final hour

Men of the shadows

Priest of the gallows

Strange things did happen here

Under the moonlight

Of the hanging tree

I will sacrifice

What is left of me

Of the hanging tree
