Abigail Washburn Ballad Of Treason
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
