Hanging Tree by Magnum (Band) Lyrics

Don't look down again
Shine a magic light
Across the silver plain
Well, there's something wrong tonight

Hooded heads fly by
The strangers' bears a knife
Once the wind does cry
You had better pray, not fight

Riders stir the dust
Fire across the sky
A sacrifice is just
Someone's going to die

Hanging tree does creep
It's bitterness runs deep
No words of mercy speak
This weeping tree won't sleep
No, no
Philosophy of of hate
Where did it begin?
The greed of hearts misplace
The brave and different skin

Riders stir the dust
Fire across the sky
A sacrifice is just
Someone's going to die

Hanging tree does creep
It's bitterness runs deep
No words of mercy speak
This weeping tree won't sleep
No, no

Don't look down
Something wrong tonight
Tonight, tonight, tonight

Hanging tree does creep
It's bitterness runs deep
This weeping tree won't sleep
No, no
