Lyrics:

Do you remember the bridge?
The bridge that was standing in ruin
Do you remember the sign?
Demons and witches were doing
Oh, they say it's a bad place
Oh, they say it's a magic place

Deep down under
The soil of this unholy land
Deep down under
The roots of a tree they have damned

It's the Old Oak Hanging Tree
It's the Old Oak Hanging Tree


Nothing will grow in the ground
The Old Oak is killing it all
If you are ever around
Beware of the Oak and its charm

It's the Old Oak Hanging Tree
It's the Old Oak Hanging Tree


The Old Oak might make you blind
The Old Oak might trick your eyes
Oh, hypnotized

It's a bad sign when the Autumn comes and the leaves are gone
Oh, it's a bad sign, the Oak must feed in order to breed
Bad sign
Bad sign (Bad sign, bad sign)
It's a bad sign when the Autumn comes and the leaves are gone
It's 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, oh, 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 receive a gift of life
All the people must have known
Happiness would come if sown

Can you believe, sacrificing their own?


The Old Oak might make you blind
The Old Oak might trick your eyes
Oh, hypnotized


No, don't hang with me
As I go back to the Old Oak tree
