The Liar

Winter sleep, strangest dream
Have the woods I left so lovely lost their green?
Fell from grace into sin
Dogs and wolves were hounding me I had to let them in

Hold me near
Through the winter year
Sing my name
Ringing out in shame
Take me I am the liar

Gone too far, see these hands
Swing me on the gallows in this grey and Godless land
Longest sleep, darkest dream
Yes, the woods I left so lovely lost their green

Hold me tight in my waking night
Say my name
Never mind the shame
Take me I am the liar

Rather be a monkey than a bloody bastard man
