Hang Me High

Hang me from my neck, yes, hang me high And hold me under the water and let me die And fill my body with water, oh, fill me to the brim Nail my skin to the floor to keep me here Well, don't fear, don't fear, don't fear, you're gonna watch me Come near, come near, you're gonna watch me Don't fear, don't fear, you're gonna watch me Come near, come near, you're gonna watch me die With this labour of love, I will cut you down Oh, this splattered blood that I taste, bones are scattered around And as I coil my body around you, and I pull you closer in Shed my skin to the floor to wash my sins Well, don't fear, don't fear, don't fear, you're gonna watch me Come near, come near, you're gonna watch me Don't fear, don't fear, you're gonna watch me Come near, come near, you're gonna watch me And as I lay down in the dark, I hear my brother calling And as I lay down in the dark, I hear my brother call my name
