Abigail Washburn - Ballad Of Treason lyrics

This kiss is a crime, let's not waste time The cover of night is breaking We even the score, we capture five more Make a forbidden offering Our heads are two states, let's pull down the gates Declaring freedom Send out our armies, bring d**h to our colonies Harmony drowns out the cries of our generals Climb up to the tree top, I'll be on the mountain top Looking for you across the valley First word you heard, oh, the sky is on fire Crying for the dying daylight I need you, I need you, I need you Bodies on pyres, waiting for fire The judge and the generals, dangerous diction The faithful a**emble, the crowd starts to tremble The cavalry arises and begins to fall The treason proclaim, fires bursts into flame Doom sows right the sparks in to the blue Climb up to the tree top, I'll be on the mountain top Looking for you across the valley First word you heard was sky is on fire Crying for the dying daylight I need you, I need you, I need you This world is a shackle, I shout to the crowd "Bring down the walls of Jericho" Climb up to the tree top, I'll be on the mountain top Looking for you across the valley First word you heard was the sky is on fire Crying for the dying daylight I need you, I need you
