The Rope Lyrics by Clyde and the Milltailers

Clyde and the Milltailers

The wells gone dry
The wells gone dry
Put the bags in the carriage
And a rag to your eye
The earth's turned sour
The earth's turned sour
Burn the plow for warmth
Put the roots in the cellar
Can't get drunk no more
Won't get drunk no more
Bodies gone to the earth, minds spilled out on the floor
This earth won't give back anything anymore
You can't eat your silver, can't drink your gold
Your powders all wet and your swords are all dull
The rope
The ropе
The tower rings so loud
No more pеople to burn no more witches to drown
You tremble where you stand hand in hand
Looking for answers to questions you just don't understand
How could I be wrong why'd it take so long
The shadows of the stones cast set fire to my throne
The wells gone dry
The wells gone dry
Put the bags in the carriage
And a rag to your eye
The earth's turned sour
The earth's turned sour
Burn the plow for warmth
Put the roots in the cellar
Can't get drunk no more
Won't get drunk no more
Bodies gone to the earth, minds spilled out on the floor
This earth won't give back anything anymore
Home in those cities, guest till the end
Filling them prisons with blood to the brim
The rope
The rope
The tower rings so loud
Wondering through your home now burning to the ground
Bottles all empty
Chambers all full
Ain't no angels knocking at your door
Just skeleton bones to keep you warm
In that grave you dug for the world
The wells gone dry
The wells gone dry
Put the bags in the carriage
And a rag to your eye
The earth's turned sour
The earth's turned sour
Burn the plow for warmth
Put the roots in the cellar
Can't get drunk no more
Won't get drunk no more
Bodies gone to the earth, minds spilled out on the floor
This earth won't give back anything anymore
The wells gone dry
The wells gone dry
Put the bags in the carriage
And a rag to your eye
The earth's turned sour
The earth's turned sour
Burn the plow for warmth
Put the roots in the cellar
Can't get drunk no more
Won't get drunk no more
Bodies gone to the earth, minds spilled out on the floor
This earth won't give back anything anymore
Oh no, this earth won't give back anything anymore
