Lyrics Tyler Ward – The Hanging Tree (Original Hunger Games Remix)
Text:
Out of the East never see the sunrise
Spoon fed peace, swallowing knives
We know that promise is sweet,
But it’s laced with venom
Oh
Now baby
One by one you line us up, two
By two, and three you’ll send us home
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
Jack rabbit on the rooftop now
Your magic can be seen for miles
Stop sellin’ all our dreams to the wild
Can you hear us
Jack rabbit on the rooftop now
Your magic can be seen for miles
Can you hear us
How-how-howl, yeah
How do you see while the black crow flies
Caught between who’s wrong and right
It’s cruel, your game to gain momentum
But go on and feast your eyes
Oh
Now baby
One by one you line us up, two
By two, and three you’ll send us home
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
Jack rabbit on the rooftop now
Your magic can be seen for miles
Stop sellin’ all our dreams to the wild
Can you hear us
Jack rabbit on the rooftop now
Your magic can be seen for miles
Can you hear us
How-how-howl, yeah
Are you, are you
Coming to the tree
Wear the 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
