מילים לשיר The Old Oak – Mercyful Fate

Music by Hank Shermann Lyrics by
King Diamond)
Do you remember the bridge? Do you remember the sign?
The bridge that was standing in ruin
Demons and witches were doing They say it's a bad place
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
Beware of the Oak and its charm
If you are ever around 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
Hypnotized. When the Autumn comes and the leaves
It's a bad sign
are gone
The Oak must feed in order to breed
Oh it's a 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. Red Deep into the ground they buried them
All around the Old Oak
Indians of ancient times
Saw it as a holy shrine Can you believe, sacrificing their own To receive a gift of life
Must have been a mighty GOD
All the people must have known
Happiness would come if sown Can you believe, sacrificing their own The Old Oak might make you blind
Hypnotized.
The Old Oak might trick your eyes No! Don't hang with me
As I go back to the Old Oak tree.
