The Iron Tree Lyrics - Singles - Last Rites

Hanging on the Iron Tree 

Fat white worms devour me 

Drowning in the Sea of Blood 

Buried in the poisoned mud 

I was taken to the South 

Serpents came from my mouth 

Dropped in the River of Fire 

And I heard the Angels Choir 

The darkness was dispersed 

And I became immersed 

In the glare of Seven Suns 

Cherubim and Seraphim 

I saw the Virgin Mary 

She was weeping very bitterly 

I asked her why are you weeping? 

Why did you come? 

And the Holy Virgin said to me 

I have come down here to see 

The torments suffered by the weak 

By those who turned the other cheek 

Ten thousand Angels began to sing 

A multitude of bells began to ring 

The divine procession turned away 

And took with them the light of day
