Hear the Willow Cry
Echoes of Redemption: Beneath the Willow's Sigh
Lyrics
Won't you bury me beneath the tree
Begging to be buried beneath a specific tree.
Where my family lies, where my family lies'
Desiring to rest with family members already deceased.
Let the fog lay low on the mountain high
Asking for a somber atmosphere with low-hanging fog on a high mountain.
Hear the willow cry, hear the willow cry
Requesting to hear the sounds of a weeping willow.
Ain't no redemption for the thing that I have done
Expressing remorse with no possibility of redemption for past actions.
The devil owns you once the bullets left your gun
Highlighting the irreversible consequences of violent actions.
All I can think of with this rope around my neck
Reflecting on the weight of guilt symbolized by a noose.
Is I'd be much obliged if you grant me one request
Pleading for a final request before facing consequences.
Won't you bury me, beneath the tree
Reiterating the desire to be buried under a specific tree.
Where my family lies, where my family lies'
Emphasizing the connection to family even in death.
Let the fog lay low, on the mountain high
Requesting a fitting atmosphere with fog on a mountain.
Hear the willow cry, hear the willow cry
Repeated call to hear the mournful sounds of a willow tree.
My soul turned black as coal
Describing a profound moral corruption symbolized by blackened soul.
When I walked the streets at night
Recalling a time of inner turmoil during nocturnal wanderings.
'Cause in my heart I knew that something wasn't right
Acknowledging a sense of wrongdoing within the heart.
And I went crazy when I found her with that man
Confessing to madness upon discovering infidelity.
But I felt better once the blood was on my hands
Finding solace or relief through violent actions.
Won't you bury me beneath the tree
Repetition of the plea to be buried beneath the specified tree.
Where my family lies, where my family lies'
Reaffirming the wish to be laid to rest with family.
Let the fog lay low on the mountain high
Reiterating the desire for a melancholic setting on a mountain.
Hear the willow cry, hear the willow cry
Repeating the call to hear the lamentation of a willow tree.
Won't you bury me beneath the tree
Restating the plea for burial beneath the specified tree.
Where my family lies, where my family lies'
Stressing the connection to family even in death.
Let the fog lay low on the mountain high
Reiterating the desire for a solemn ambiance on a mountain.
Hear the willow cry, hear the willow cry
Repeated call to hear the mournful sounds of a willow tree.
Hear the willow cry, hear the willow cry
Emphasizing the haunting cries of the willow tree.
