lyrics

The Sacrifice Tree

(Take these children, take their blood. May it show you our love.)

Down the dark path in the deep dark wood
Down the dark path in the deep dark wood

(Spirit of the forest, take our sacrifice, take our blood. This virgin, this child, this innocent - we offer up their lives to you.)

Down the dark path in the deep dark wood
Stands an old oak that for centuries stood.
Carved in its trunk are the faces of pain,
Worn by the ages, the wind and the rain.

Down the dark path in the deep dark wood
Stands an old oak with a leafy green hood.
The blood of the innocents will always be,
Given to the creature in the Sacrifice Tree.

(Take our sacrifice, take our blood, take these children. We offer up their lives to you.)

Down the dark path in the deep dark wood
Stands an old oak that is made of no-good.
Inside that tree lives the worst of your dreams,
A beast so ancient it is suckled by your screams.


Down the dark path in the deep dark wood
Stands an old oak that would fall if it could,
Down on the heads of the fools that be
All those who worship at the Sacrifice Tree.

Down the dark path in the deep dark wood
Down the dark path in the deep dark wood

(We offer up their lives to you. Take our sacrifice.)
