All alone in an evil dream i see myself up high
and it's me over you with my arms spread open wide
i try to run from the place i know that i can be set free
come away come away there's a sweet voice calling me
to the killing tree
I look around at all the faces who are passing me
and i run try to run with nails in my feet
all the time i was building castles on a sandy beach
leading you leading you to a place i'd never been
to the killing tree
come on
I know what you're asking me and i don't wanna give
'cause it's safe and i know 'cause i've been here all these years
all the precious pain i hold without it there is fear
and i'm afraid when you say that you'll get me outta here
to the killing tree
come on
Come away to a place of healing
So now i run to you and i move from night to day
for to live i must die and there's still no other way
i was alone in an evil dream but you took my place up high
now it's you over me with your arms spread open wide
on the killing tree
come on
