Lyrics:
“In Scotland’s wilds, a clan once roamed,
Hidden in caves where no light shone.
Sawney Bean and his incestuous kin preyed at night,
Leaving terror, blood, and bones in sight.”

THE HAIRY TREE

The howling wind that bleeds, something grim beneath
Hungers fester in the dark; delicious you must be
Shadows crawl through hollows, lurking for a couple
To join the supper inside a drowned cave, the menu

Unseen, to be fed alive, for the family’s own needs
So many have been lost. Into the night where silence meets the dark.

Tied to stakes, chained and bound
Stripped to pieces with applause, burned away the nightmare
Dragged to gallows, ropes around
And the story meets its end beneath the hairy tree

Whispers carry tales of horrors hidden from sight
Could someone live down there? Unlikely, we’d all say
Cavern yawns wide; the stench of blood and bone
Limbs strewn across the walls, the family on their throne

Unseen, to be found alive, in a place no one knew
So many have been lost. Into a cave where death has teeth.

Tied to stakes, chained and bound
Stripped to pieces with applause, burned away the nightmare
Dragged to gallows, ropes around
And the story meets its end beneath the hairy tree

“In Scotland’s wild, a clan once roamed,
Hidden in caves where no light shone.
Sawney Bean and his incestuous kin preyed at night,
Leaving terror, blood, and bones in sight”

Unseen, to be found alive, in a place no one knew
So many have been lost. Into a cave where death has teeth.

Tied to stakes, chained and bound
Stripped to pieces with applause, burned away the nightmare
Dragged to gallows, ropes around
And the story meets its end beneath the hairy tree
