lyrics

Dead men, Dead men swinging from a tree
How many dead men do you see?
Tongue turned blue and face gone grey
Watch them as they twist and sway
Dead men swinging from a tree
How many dead men do you see?
Six feet long and six men wide
Round their necks the noose be tied

Strangled with rope I fall from the gallows
An unforgiven and cursed man
Oh lord have mercy - this is not judgement
They are bloodthirsty and I am their sacrificial lamb

Dead men swinging from a tree
Tried and judged and found guilty
Tie them tightly by the neck
Hear them cry and plead and beg
But one man is not the same
He bears no crime, dies with no name
Dead men swinging from a tree
Innocent death is tragedy

Hangover Suicide 7"
by Iron Witch

These guys have a few EPs but this is their most recent. Excellent groovy/bluesy sludge ala EyeHateGod and the likes. Well worth your time and money :) Skeletons

Tarnation
by Bastard of the Skies

Huge Riffs & absolute hatred. These guys are exactly what sludge should sound like, and should definitely be checked out by fans of High on Fire, Winter, Graves at Sea & generally any sludgy doom! Skeletons
