Hanging Tree
Are you, are you
Coming to the tree?
They strung up a man
They say who murdered three.
Strange things did happen here
No stranger would it be
If we met at midnight
In the hanging tree.
Valkyrie did you hear?
He has been caught.
They are going to kill him for defending you.
He is bait to lure you out.
What are you going to do about it?
Are you, are you
Coming to the tree?
Where dead man called out
For his love to flee.
Strange things did happen here
No stranger would it be
If we met at midnight
In the hanging tree.
He wants you away from here.
He wants you to run.
Run away from the danger.
Run away from death.
Will you listen to him?
Are you, are you
Coming to the tree?
Where I told you to run,
So we'd both be free.
Strange things did happen here
No stranger would it be
If we met at midnight
In the hanging tree.
You know they will kill him this time.
That was the only reason you listened to me.
Telling you to run there quickly.
Whispering in your mind the images of his final death.
Will you listen to me again?
Are you, are you
Coming to the tree?
Wear a necklace of hope,
Side by side with me.
Strange things did happen here
No stranger would it be
If we met at midnight
In the hanging tree.
Give yourself up to them.
Have them release him.
Then get angry.
Make them regret trying to kill you.
Will you free me to let me help you?
Are you, are you
Coming to the tree?
Where I told you to run,
So we'd both be free.
Strange things did happen here
No stranger would it be
If we met at midnight
In the hanging tree.
You think you told me to run here.
But I need you, Darquesse.
I want you to come out.
We need to help him.
Will you give me your power to save him?
Are you, are you
Coming to the tree?
They strung up a man
They say who murdered three.
Strange things did happen here
No stranger would it be
If we met at midnight
In the hanging tree.
This was the tipping point.
Sorcerers, mortals, and gods alike knew that this was the beginning of the end.
They say in hushed whispers
The moment when Skulduggery Pleasant was captured and used a bait for Valkyrie Cain.
If they could, would they go back and time and change it?
Are you, are you
Coming to the tree?
Where dead man called out
For his love to flee.
Strange things did happen here
No stranger would it be
If we met at midnight
In the hanging tree.
The world should have heard his warning.
When he cried out to her to run.
He knew what strange thing was coming.
Two personalities changing....the making of two into one.
Would they have stopped had they known she was going to destroy the world?
