Are you, are you
Coming to the tree
Where they strung up a man they say murdered three
Strange things did happen here
No stranger would it be
If we met up at midnight in the hanging tree.
"Norman Clott, you are being arrested for murder," a Peacekeeper said.
"Wh-what? I-I didn't kill anyone! I'm innocent! I'm innocent I tell you!" The man known as Norman protested.
"Your sentence is death by hanging," the Peacekeeper said.
"But I didn't-"
"SILENCE! Your death sentence will be at midnight."
Are you, are you
Coming to the tree
Where the dead man called out for his love to flee
Strange things did happen here
No stranger would it be
If we met up at midnight in the hanging tree.
"Norman!" A woman kept running, running, running, towards his love.
"Anala, run! They'll return soon. If they catch you, they'll kill you, too!" Norman said.
"But-"
"Just RUN!"
Are you, are you
Coming to the tree
Where I told you to run so we'd both be free
Strange things did happen here
No stranger would it be
If we met up at midnight in the hanging tree.
"Norman, a world without you is pointless!"
"It's okay, Anala. I'll always be with you..."
She screeched in horror as she watched her lover be hanged.
Are you, are you
Coming to the tree
Wear a necklace of rope, side by side with me
Strange things did happen here
No stranger would it be
If we met up at midnight in the hanging tree.

"A world without him is pointless..." Anala thought.
She prepared a rope necklace and hung it on the tree where she last saw her lover.
"I'll be with you soon, Norman..."
