Under this tree, far away from this church and state
Is just you and me
There's no need to watch our backs, we'll just simply be
Kiss me, honey, sweetly with our eyes closed

Words like a knife, cut my father's throat
And he gets seething in spite
Threaten my poor mother so she kneels every night
To a prized god divided in the fight

O' sweet thing, bombs away and I'll say
To you, I leave a pox upon this awful place
And for you I bleed

So string up my girl
Deviant and faithless and a bane to your world
Mal-intent with ignorance, it's all so absurd
Worthless and you're worth it all the same, same

Starve in my cell
Man is bound in shackles between heaven and hell
Whether it's worth dying for is too soon to tell
Bloody mouthed and screaming out her name, her name

O' sweet thing, bombs away and I'll say
To you, I leave a pox upon this awful place
And for you I bleed [Incomprehensible]

O' sweet thing, bombs away and I'll say
To you, I leave a pox upon this awful place
And for you, I bleed

There was nothing left
When you bred contempt in a **** town
Turning your rats into killers
So far gone

O Holy Father, I bit my tongue
But Your good word's
Turning Your saints into sinners
So far gone

Oh, under this tree
We grew roots and branches
Kept a hold of our leaves
They will turn through seasons
And they'll fall to the feet
Of the children that came after us

O' sweet thing, bombs away and I'll say
To you, I leave a pox upon this awful place
And for you I bleed [Incomprehensible]

O' sweet thing, bombs away and I'll say
To you, I leave a pox upon this awful place
And for you I bleed

So under this tree, far away from church and state
Is just you and me
There's no need to watch our backs, we'll just simply be
Kiss me, honey, sweetly with our eyes closed
