Abigail Washburn ballad of treason

Select language to translate this lyric

This kiss is a crime, let's not waste time
The cover of night is breaking
We even the score, we capture five more
Make a forbidden offering
Our heads are two states, let's pull down the gates
Declaring freedom
Send out our armies, bring death to our colonies
Harmony drowns out the cries of our generals
Climb up to the tree top, I'll be on the mountain top
Looking for you across the valley
First word you heard, oh, the sky is on fire
Crying for the dying daylight
I need you, I need you, I need you
Bodies on pyres, waiting for fire
The judge and the generals, dangerous diction
The faithful assemble, the crowd starts to tremble
The cavalry arises and begins to fall
The treason proclaim, fires bursts into flame
Doom sows right the sparks in to the blue
Climb up to the tree top, I'll be on the mountain top
Looking for you across the valley
First word you heard was sky is on fire
Crying for the dying daylight
I need you, I need you, I need you
This world is a shackle, I shout to the crowd
Bring down the walls of Jericho
Climb up to the tree top, I'll be on the mountain top
Looking for you across the valley
First word you heard was the sky is on fire
Crying for the dying daylight
I need you, I need you
