Arena The Hanging Tree Lyrics

The Hanging Tree Lyrics

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!
