Gallows Songtext
von Brown Bird

Black blood, red sky
In a belly all full of fire
Why, I ask why
I don′t know
I grow so tired
Of the battle of wrong and right
That's waged inside
Every time you speak your mind

We′re the same damn kind, don't you know?


With the devil's eyes and a dagger tongue
You fill the sky above us with sound
Of fatal words like fire flung
From a careless bow
I grow so tired
Of the battle of wrong and right
That′s waged inside
Every time you speak your mind

We′re the same damn kind, don't you know?

We all walk down to the hill
Where the gallows are swinging still
Nooses still clenched tight
′Round the necks of ten million ghosts
They whisper "don't forget us"
But don′t forget to keep moving on

We're the same damn kind, don′t you know?

Black blood, red sky
In a belly all full of fire
Why, I ask why
I don't know
I grow so tired
Of the battle of wrong and right
That's waged inside
Every time you speak your mind
