Lyrics
Leaves Of This Hanging Tree
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Time is a pendulum
The hand swings forward, then back down low
Through the vacuum of faith
And the devil you know
The leaves of this hanging tree are weighed down low
The leaves of this hanging tree are weighed down low
Forgiveness from above
Or the torment down below
The choice was never mine
The devil is called time
The leaves of this hanging tree are weighed down low
Dregs of lifetimes on the floor
Flecks of red and green and…
On the ground they’ll lay
And the colors fade
Coiled and spun like serpents
On the killing floor they writhe
Stare at me with their judgment
While the night herons fly
Time is a tentacle
The hooks sink in and drag us down low
Through the vacuum of faith
And the devil you know
The leaves of this hanging tree are weighed down low
The leaves of this hanging tree are weighed down low
