It Never Ends (The Blood Red Hook II)

[Rain] [Verse] There's a hole in the forest With the bracken all dead And the bark stripped bare Where no foxes tread There's a house on the hill With a cobwebbed door And a sign that says "Don't come 'round here no more" Moon over Dartmoor Cold on the gorse and stone Fog crawls the tors Out here, looks like you're not alone Rust on the iron Drip on the hanging chain Wind speaks a name Wind keeps saying... “Samuel Hayne” [Chorus] He just hangs and waits again In the iron In the rain... Every whisper Every bend You can feel him... (...it never ends, it never ends...) [Verse 2] There's a tale of a time Long before we were born When the dead came back On a cold Samhain evening Where the tinners lay low In the cave they made With the stones they took From the blood-stained grave Bootprints in peat moss Stop where the heather starts Lantern still swinging But nobody’s got that heart Sheep break in silence Eyes wide and rolling white Hook twists a little Like it smells that copper night [Chorus] He just hangs and waits again In the iron In the rain... Every whisper Every bend You can feel him... (...it never ends, it never ends...) [Bridge] He was judged by rope and stone Left his body Kept his bones Lanterns dimmed But he remained All his rage inside that chain (Say his name) The bracken moves... (Say his name) The ground will groove (Say his name) Steel in the mist Breath on your neck Step from the path and you won’t step back [Chorus] He just hangs and waits again In the iron In the rain... Every whisper Every bend You can feel him... (...it never ends, it never ends...) [Outro] There's a hole in the forest With the bracken all dead And the bark stripped bare Where no foxes tread There's a house on the hill With a cobwebbed door And a sign that says "Don't come 'round here no more
