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
