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
