Abigail Washburn - Ballad Of Treason lyrics

rate me

This kiss is a crime

Let's not wast time

The cover of night is breaking

They even the score

We capture five more

Make a forbidden offering

Our heads are two stakes

Lets pull down the gates

Declaring freedom

Send out our armies

Bring death to our colonies

Our harmony drowns out the cries of our enemies

Climb up to a treetop I'll be on a mountain top

Looking for you across the valley

Birds pull you higher while the sky is on fire

Searching for the dying daylight

I need you, I need you, I need you



Our bodies are pyres

Waiting for fire


The judge and the generals

Claim jurisdiction


The faithful assemble

The crowd starts to tremble


The gavel it rises

And begins to fall



Treason proclaimed

Pyres burst into flame


Two souls ride the sparks

Into the blue



Climb up to a treetop I'll be on a mountain top

Looking for you across the valley

Birds pull you higher while the sky is on fire

Searching for the dying daylight

I need you, I need you, I need you



This world is a shackle

Let's shout til it rattles


Bring down the walls of Jericho

Climb up to a treetop I'll be on a mountain top

Looking for you across the valley

Birds pull you higher while the sky is on fire

Searching for the dying daylight

I need you, I need you
