Hanging

I see their corpses clinging

Half hooded in disguise

Their shapes I recognize

They hang

On the grey oak they swing

Ponder

So many miles I wandered

I roamed without an aim

I fought men without name

To reach this hanging tree

(Hang)

By the throat they are tied to old wood

Aftermath of perverted kinghood

(Die)

By moonlight two shadows that shine

Arms and legs hugged by vines

(Doom)

Its branches are knotted round the sun

Setting pale on the foggy courtyard

(Slay)

Silhouetted against crossing spears

(They were) hanged by the Cavalier

Hanging

They stand against my sight

Oh the eyes can now see clear and bright

As my chest opens wide

Hanging

I see their corpses clinging

Half hooded in disguise

Their shapes I recognize

They hang

On the grey oak they swing

Ponder

So many miles I wandered

I roamed without an aim

I fought men without name

To reach this hanging tree

As I revealed their pale glass eyes

Too late I realized

As I unveiled the hood

There they stood

My love (and) my daughter

Hanging

They stand against my sight

Oh the eyes can now see clear and bright

And I just want to die

They hang from the hanging tree on morrow

Their necks have cracked and my heart turned black

Hanging

I see their corpses clinging

Half hooded in disguise

Their shapes I recognize

They hang

On the grey oak they swing

Ponder

So many miles I wandered

I roamed without an aim

I fought men without name

To reach this hanging tree

Half hooded in disguise

Their shapes I recognize

As they hang on the hanging tree
