Mercyful Fate - The Old Oak

The Old Oak

Do you remember the bridge?
The bridge that was stand ing in ruin
Do you remember the sign?
Demons and witches were doing
They say its a bad place
They say its a magic place
Deep down under
The soil of this unholy land
Deep down under
The roots of a tree they have damned
Its the Old Oak Hanging Tree
Its the Old Oak Hanging Tree
      Solo: Shermann
Nothing wi will grow in the ground
The Old Oak is killing it all
If you are ever around
Beware of the Oak and its charm
Its the Old Oak Hanging Tree
Its the Old Oak Hanging Tree
The Old Oak might make you blind
The Old Oak might trick your eyes
Hypnotized.....
Its a bad sign
When the Autumn comes and the leaves
are gone
Oh its a bad sign
The Oak must feed in order to breed
Bad sign....... Bad sign
Its a bad sign when the Autumn comes
And the leaves are gone
Its a nightmare found
I wonder... what made this magic tree so

Hang with me, hang with the hangman
Another season in another century
Hang with me, hang with the hangman
Blood from the madmen we hung in that
tree
Blood to the ground
Blood to the roots.... Red
All around the Old Oak
Deep into the ground they buried them
Indians of ancient times
Saw it as a holy shrine
Can you believe, sacrificing their own
Must have been a mighty GOD
To recei have a gift of life
All the people must have known
Happiness would come if sown
Can you believe, sacrificing their own
     nbsp; Solo: Denner
The Old Oak might make you blind
The Old Oak might trick your eyes
Hypnotized.....
      Solo: Shermann
No Dont hang with me
As I go back to the Old Oak tree
