The Killing Tree

All alone in an evil dream I see myself up high

And it's me over you with my arms spread open wide

I try to run from the place I know that I can be set free

Come away come away there's a sweet voice calling me

To the killing tree

I look around at all the faces who are passing me

And I run try to run with nails in my feet

All the time I was building castles on a sandy beach

Leading you leading you to a place I'd never been

To the killing tree

Come on

I know what you're asking me and I don't wanna give

'Cause it's safe and I know 'cause I've been here all these years

All the precious pain I hold without it there is fear

And I'm afraid when you say that you'll get me outta here

To the killing tree

Come on

Come away to a place of healing

So now I run to you and I move from night to day

For to live I must die and there's still no other way

I was alone in an evil dream but you took my place up high

Now it's you over me with your arms spread open wide

On the killing tree

Come on
