Ten Tongues Songtext
von Hack-Poets Guild

Ten tongues, ten tongues, ten tongues in one head
One went out to seek for bread to feed the living and the dead
Blood darkens the stone when night left none to see
I cut a man′s throat into a state, the judge chained me
Flesh dropped from my bones, strung up to the sky for shame
The top of my skull fell in, bare and ragged in the rain


Ten tongues, ten tongues, ten tongues in one head
One went out to seek for bread to feed the living and the dead
Oh, let the wind blow
Oh, let the wind blow

His head was always towards Hazeleigh
Let the wind blow where it may
Matted hair and thistle down in the weft of wood and clay
A pair of birds built me a crown when Hawthorn's home with May
It said when in the nest sat singing morning songs
Blue eggs strangely speckled red hatched out eight young ones

Ten tongues, ten tongues, ten tongues in one head
One went out to seek for bread to feed the living and the dead


Ten tongues, ten tongues, ten tongues in one head
One went out to seek for bread to feed the living and the dead
