lyrics

Red moon rising
Through the pines
Glaring down
Like some evil eye
House so dark
Hills so silent
All is still
But my mind's a riot

Well, the clock keeps tolling like a funeral bell
Babe, you still cast quite a spell
Branches bowed in reverend shame
Holding court o'er the mess we made

But don't you grieve
Don't you grieve
Oh no darling
Don't you grieve

Well, things never fall according to plan
The Fates are blind but they've buys hands
Try and through them off the scent
And they come howling back without repent

Yeah, no repent
No repent
Howling back
Without repent

Well, it sends a chill up and down my spine
How lines get crossed and hands get tied
Holding on to nothing left
Darling, I swear you'll be my death

But don't you grieve
Don't you grieve
Oh no darling
Don't you grieve

Go and play
The child bride
Girl, our trial
Has been tried
Jury's hung
Swinging from the gallows
Beware of the verdict
Lurking in the shadows

But don't you grieve
Don't you grieve
Oh no darling
Don't you grieve
