Songtext von Ye Olde Hope

Old hope, got stuck in your throat Wound it's way round your neck And caused you to choke Old hope, made of rope That held you tight as the chair legs broke When they found you hanging in the wood You said At least now I don't have to be kind nor good I'll be cruel and I'll be obscene Tear out my tongue 'Cause I've been redeemed When they found you hanging in the wood You said: At least now I don't have to be kind nor good I'll be cruel and I'll be obscene Tear out my tongue 'Cause I've been redeemed Save my blushes for the grave No shy glance, no coy restraint And I won't hang my head And I won't repent Won't face the wall and count to ten 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10 Well they tore you down And they tore out your tongue And they made you kneel For all the things that you'd done But you wouldn't cry You wouldn't beg You just screamed And tore out your teeth instead When they found you hanging in the wood You said At least now I don't have to be kind nor good I'll be cruel and I'll be obscene Tear out my tongue 'Cause I've been redeemed
