hanging tree

• blackmores night şarkısı, başarılı bir çalışma.
• there have been many tales
  tainted by truth twisted by time…
  
  some choose to forget
  yet it still
  weaves webs in their minds…
  
  and it seems like she's been here forever
  her branches as black as the seas
  she's been through it all
  by the luck of the draw
  she became the old hanging tree…
  
  she asked for nothing
  except maybe
  a little rain…
  they used her strength
  to help them steal lives away…
  and she witnessed the sadness and the sorrow
  to this day she still doesn't know why
  and her heart broke
  when they came with the rope
  to declare her the old hanging tree…
  
  life stranger then fiction
  can make you want to cry
  roots could never stop her
  from reaching for the sky…
  those years have all past
  lucky for us lucky for her…
  now, children play at her feet
  and in her arms she cradles birds…
  and it seems she's been here forever
  these days are the best that she's seen
  but somewhere in the back
  of her mind
  is the time
  she was known as the old hanging tree…

  would you like our way home
  i bleed my own
  
  round the hangin tree
  swayin in the breeze
  in the summer sun
  as we two are one
  swayin
  
  can you see under my thumb
  there you are
  
  round the hangin tree
  swing in the breeze
  in the summer sun
  as we two are one
  swing

• elijah blake tarafından seslendirilen şarkı, neden popüler olmamasını anlamış değilim, sözleri:
  who's that man ı see
  underneath the hanging tree?
  he looks just like me, so tell me, am ı really free?
  coulda been my mother crying for my brother
  and everybody, everybody, everybody's praying for peace
  but who's gonna protect us from the police?
  
  keep these chains off me
  cause ı don't wanna be another seed underneath the hanging tree
  pray for me
  lord, don't let me be another seed underneath the hanging tree
  
  brands on our bodies (the color of fruit)
  color of purple fruit (shoo-doot)
  power of the black (black power, black power)
  spent on designers that don't give a damn about you
  ı, ı wonder sometimes
  am ı just living to die? (living to die)
  cause the way they do my kind
  ı just wanna cry
  
  chains off me
  ı don't wanna be another seed underneath the hanging tree
  pray for me
  lord, don't let me be another seed underneath the hanging tree
  
  take these chains off me, free me
  ı don't wanna be another seed underneath the hanging tree
  take these chains off me, free me
  lord don't wanna be another seed underneath the hanging tree
  take these chains off me
  
  sesi billur gibi, özellikle amerika'da yaşanan olaylardan sonra çok fazla paylaşılacağını düşünüyorum, ırkçılığı çok iyi bir şekilde özetlediğini düşünüyorum
