The Hanging Tree

Walk along the waterfall
 Watching as the world turns red
 Wonder where the river flows
 And the blood on the river bed
 Poison lies too close to us
 Reach across the salt and sand
 Moving deeper into the land
 Following the waterfall
 Watching as the world turns green
 Wonder where the river flows
 The copper face remains unseen
 Ignorance has failed to cleanse
 Reach across the salt and sand
 Moving deeper into the land
 Crying as the earth cries out
 Weeping as the land decays
 Wonder if I could have helped
 Maybe I'd have found a way
 Poison lies too close to us
 Reach across the salt and sand
 Moving deeper into the land
 Cling to the branch of a tree
 That was waiting for
 Something to preach
 Someone to teach
 The Word was the first
 And the last to be heard
 From the branch of the tree
 It was praying for me to fall down
 Climb to the top of a tree
 That was waiting for
 Someone to warn
 A life to be torn into
 Pieces of gold
 For a soul to be sold
 And the heart of the tree
 Was crying for me to come back
 Take me to the hanging tree
 There's a man in the light
 And he's pointing at me
 Guide me to the hanging tree
 It's the place that I come from
 Walk along the waterline
 Reach across the salt and the sand
 Moving deeper into the land
 Take me to the hanging tree
 There's a boy in the light
 And he's staring at me
 Take me to the hanging tree
 It's the place that I come from
 Walk along the waterline
 Reach across the salt and the sand
 Moving deeper into the land
 I'm falling... Falling down again!
