lyrics

You'll never know what's buried here
at the seat of this hallowed tree.
Look back again with golden charms
and sing them all to sleep.

Carry me back to the beginning
and start it right, right from the top.
With gallows high, you swing the ride
straight down until we're lost.

With card house games and murderous fame,
they'll volunteer the crime.
Yet none of them will raise a hand
like careless small-town lies.

Oh the death of an angel looms larger
than the deepest sea,
and lingers on with empty songs
and scatters them while they dream.

You'll never know what's buried here
at the seat of this hallowed tree.
With ancient arms, call out the charms
and bring them home to me.

Carry me back to the beginning
and start it right, right from the top.
Whirlwind the ride of your greatest life
and never let it stop.
