The Old Oak

Lyrics

King Diamond)
 Do you remember the?
 The that was standing in ruin
 Do you remember the sign?
 Demons and witches were doing
 They say it's a bad place
 They say it's a magic place
 Deep down under
 The soil of this unholy land
 Deep down under
 The roots of a tree they have damned
 It's the Old Oak Hanging Tree
 It's the Old Oak Hanging Tree
 Solo: Shermann
 Nothing will grow in the ground
 The Old Oak is killing it all
 If you are ever around
 Beware of the Oak and its charm
 It's the Old Oak Hanging Tree
 It's the Old Oak Hanging Tree
 The Old Oak might make you blind
 The Old Oak might trick your eyes
 Hypnotized...
 It's a bad sign
 When the Autumn comes and the leaves
 are gone
 Oh it's a bad sign
 The Oak must feed in order to breed
 Bad sign... Bad sign
 It's a bad sign when the Autumn comes
 And the leaves are gone
 It's a nightmare found
 I wonder... what made this magic tree so
 Solo: Shermann
 Solo: Denner
 Hang with me, hang with the hangman
 Another season in another century
 Hang with me, hang with the hangman
 Blood from the madmen we hung in that
 tree
 Blood to the ground
 Blood to the roots... Red
 All around the Old Oak
 Deep into the ground they buried them
 Indians of ancient times
 Saw it as a holy shrine
 Can you believe, sacrificing their own
 Must have been a mighty GOD
 To receive a gift of life
 All the people must have known
 Happiness would come if sown
 Can you believe, sacrificing their own
 Solo: Denner
 The Old Oak might make you blind
 The Old Oak might trick your eyes
 Hypnotized...
 Solo: Shermann
 No! Don't hang with me
 As I go back to the Old Oak tree
