The Old Oak Lyrics by Mercyful Fate

The Old Oak Lyrics

    Do you remember the bridge?
    The bridge that was standing in ruin
    Do you remember the sign?
    Demons and witches were doing

    They say it's a bad place
    They say it's a magic place

    Deep down under
    The soil of this unholy land
    Deep down under
    The roots of a tree they have damned

    It's the Old Oak Hanging Tree
    It's the Old Oak Hanging Tree

    Nothing will grow in the ground
    The Old Oak is killing it all
    If you are ever around
    Beware of the Oak and its charm

    It's the Old Oak Hanging Tree
    It's the Old Oak Hanging Tree

    The Old Oak might make you blind
    The Old Oak might trick your eyes
    Hypnotized.....

    It's a bad sign
    When the Autumn comes and the leaves
    are gone
    Oh it's a bad sign
    The Oak must feed in order to breed
    Bad sign....... Bad sign
    It's a bad sign when the Autumn comes
    And the leaves are gone
    It's a nightmare found
    I wonder... what made this magic tree so

    Hang with me, hang with the hangman
    Another season in another century
    Hang with me, hang with the hangman
    Blood from the madmen we hung in that
    tree
    Blood to the ground
    Blood to the roots.... Red

    All around the Old Oak
    Deep into the ground they buried them
    Indians of ancient times
    Saw it as a holy shrine

    Can you believe, sacrificing their own

    Must have been a mighty GOD
    To receive a gift of life
    All the people must have known
    Happiness would come if sown

    Can you believe, sacrificing their own

    The Old Oak might make you blind
    The Old Oak might trick your eyes
    Hypnotized.....

    No! Don't hang with me
    As I go back to the Old Oak tree
