DAN 65 - The hanging tree Lyrics

Before the sun comes up and burns the land
You're gonna be my bride
I'll take you far away from your fathers
And I will make you mine
The hanging tree stands idle and lonely
Branches twisted by the wind
Someone might be swinging at the end of the rope
Tonight
They'll be hunting us 'til the end of times
They will never give up
It's not the reward that they have in mind
But their sense of honor
The hanging tree stands naked and forlorn
Its roots tangled in the ground
Someone might be swinging at the end of the rope
Tonight
Pray for us my dear when they get closer
Our lives will be at stake
I already hear the bells of the church
Celebrating our death
The hanging tree stands still unflappable
Waiting patiently to know
Who will be swinging at the end of the rope
Tonight
Tonight
