about

Acoustic laid-back feel; introspective with a sense of longing. Features finger-style picking and soft percussion elements.

lyrics

The hanging tree laid bare,
All it's branches spreading out,
The hangman's noose reaches down to me.
Every man he moves forward,
His death looms closer still,
Rattle and hum of the chains and their cry;

O God,
Save me from this fate,
Let my spirit fly,
Like a bird from it's cage,
O Lord,
Save me from this hate,
Let my spirit fly,
Like a bird from it's cage.

No lock or key to open these,
Shackles welded shut,
Hands and feet scarred with searing pain.
How long will they spit on me,
Keep me in the dirt,
O my spirit lead me now on heaven's plain.
