Don't look down again Shine a magic light Across the silver plain Well, there's something wrong tonight Hooded heads fly by The strangers' bears a knife Once the wind does cry You had better pray, not fight Riders stir the dust Fire across the sky A sacrifice is just Someone's going to die Hanging tree does creep It's bitterness runs deep No words of mercy speak This weeping tree won't sleep No, no Philosophy of of hate Where did it begin? The greed of hearts misplace The brave and different skin Riders stir the dust Fire across the sky A sacrifice is just Someone's going to die Hanging tree does creep It's bitterness runs deep No words of mercy speak This weeping tree won't sleep No, no Don't look down Something wrong tonight Tonight, tonight, tonight Hanging tree does creep It's bitterness runs deep This weeping tree won't sleep No, no
