Death hanging on a tree

Death hanging on a tree
Where oh death is your victory?
Where oh death is your sting?
How with your claws can you scratch me;
Under the feet of a king?

I have walked so many miles
What benefit will the world bring?
Walked 'til I could barely stand
And I achieved nothing

Blood is on the ground
Death hanging on a tree
I owed so much to so many
They took you instead of me

Where oh death is your victory?
Where oh death is you sting?
How with your waters can you swamp me;
Under the feet of a king?

I have tried at being lawful
I have tried at being wise
Still my ankle twists as I live
Without you I would see my demise

But innocence was executed
Death hanging on a tree
I owed so much to so many
They took you instead of me
