The wind idly blows
the willow tree,
as it sways slowly
Souls tangled in it's branches
Mourn for their lost chances
A hue of red,
a strawberry bed
A pillar of roses,
tickle our noses
leading us to stems adorned
With twisted thorns
A thistle, a knot
A tangling plot
Who would ever think
That among the soft and pink
Within them, evil is dominion
Willow tree, willow tree
What do you see, what do you see
Among the frost and the freeze?
Will you free us, oh will you just teeze us
We tire of swinging in your branches
Will you return to us our chances?
Your petals are blooming
The wind is still grooming
The leaves, carelessly swimming
In the breeze
And you are dooming
Our souls, you are consuming
Our tears, carelessly swimming
in the years
Weeping tree, weeping tree
Angel of gray, who never seeks night
Never seeks day, and stays in between
Oh let us redeem
Weeping tree, weeping tree,
please hear our screams
Shadows can and may
blot out the sun,
but through it all, here we will stay
Subject to your crown,
tangled and bound,
Like your roots stuck in the ground
Our clattering bones
Are heard by no one and no one alone
For your swaying ropes, have diminshed our hopes
You suffocate all of our calls, so you may display
your leaves proudly in the winter thaw
Always upon our cheeks
Biting at us for something sweet
Our tears had frozen an eon ago,
who will know, shall our song go
On, and on, and on, and on
Must we sing it long, and long?
Dyed bold,
with ashes old
And studded with pins
But that won't keep us grim!
We'll just has to gone on singing
And our voices will keep on ringing
The wind idly blows
the willow tree,
as it sways slowly
Souls tangled in it's branches
Mourn for their lost chances
