Hi Ho Silver and Gold by Trapdoor Lyrics

[Intro]
(Ooh)
(Ooh)

Hi ho, silver and gold
Hi ho, silver and gold

[Verse 1]
She creaks alive, in silent nights
Tellin' me she's my ghost
She says I wanna be your hero
Tearing out their eyes so slow
Come here china doll, I wanna slice your throat
With my four-inch serrated knife
Rippin' down every wall inside your castle at dawn
Til' I reach my salty demise

[Chorus]
Hi ho, silver and gold
Hi ho, silver and gold
[Verse 2]
Now out upon
The tides that run
Under the mystical light
Oh tell me, tell me why I can't sleep at night
Why I hear their screams of fright

The monarchy
Perched upon the throne
The hang man he piles the bones
The bilge rats in silence and drink
As the dame floods and sinks

[Chorus]
Hi ho silver the silver and the gold
Give me my silver and the gold

[Verse 3]
I see them now, the shots at the bow
The red white and blue flyin' high
See the thousand strong masts so tall
Litterin' the darkening sky
They board the deck, swords by our necks
The Lord will judge all your sins
Shackled and bound in chain iron links
The salt in our bleedin' skin
[Chorus]
Hi ho silver and silver and the gold
Give me my silver and the gold
Give me my silver and the gold

The rope throat governor spoke
For your crimes against the crown
The lined aisle that stretched for a mile
The drop of the chained feet down
Limp bodies fold, their skin turnin' old
As they draw their final breath
They won't hang me til' my heart will hold
Til' I bleed silver and gold

[Outro]
Til' I get my silver and gold
Til' I get my silver and gold
Til' I get my silver and gold

Hi ho, silver and gold
Hi ho, silver and gold
