The Old Oak Lyrics - In The Shadows - Mercyful Fate

(Music by Hank Shermann Lyrics by 

King Diamond) 

Do you remember the bridge? 

The bridge 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
