The Rope

The wells gone dry
The wells gone dry
Put the bags in the carriage
And a rag to your eye

The earths turned sour
The earths turned sour
Burn the plow for warmth
Put the roots in the cellar

Can't get drunk no more
Wont get drunk no more
Bodies gone to the earth minds spilled out on the floor
This earth wont give back anything anymore

You can't eat your silver can't drink your gold
Your powders all wet and your swords are all dull
The rope
The rope
The tower rings so loud
No more people to burn no more witches to drown

You tremble where you stand hand in hand
Looking for the answers you just don't understand
How could I be wrong why'd it take so long
Shadows of the stones cast set fire to my throne

The wells gone dry
The wells gone dry
Put the bags in the carriage
And a rag to your eye

The earths turned sour
The earths turned sour
Burn the plow for warmth
Put the roots in the cellar

Can't get drunk no more
Wont get drunk no more
Bodies gone to the earth minds spilled out on the floor
This earth wont give back anything anymore

Home in those cities guest till the end
Filling them prisons with blood to the brim
The rope
The rope
The tower rings so loud
Wondering through your home now burning to the ground

Bottles all empty
Chambers all full
Ain't no angels knocking at your door
Just skeleton bones to keep you warm
In that grave you dug for the world

The wells gone dry
The wells gone dry
Put the bags in the carriage
And a rag to your eye

The earths turned sour
The earths turned sour
Burn the plow for warmth
Put the roots in the cellar

Can't get drunk no more
Wont get drunk no more
Bodies gone to the earth minds spilled out on the floor
This earth wont give back anything anymore

The wells gone dry
The wells gone dry
Put the bags in the carriage
And a rag to your eye

The earths turned sour
The earths turned sour
Burn the plow for warmth
Put the roots in the cellar

Can't get drunk no more
Wont get drunk no more
Bodies gone to the earth minds spilled out on the floor
This earth wont give back anything anymore
Oh no this earth wont give back anything anymore
