Sharron Kraus - Song of the Hanged Man lyrics

I am walking the straight and narrow backwards To see everything turned around I am hanging from the highest point To see the world from upside down I've seen a river flow upstream And swallows flying north I've seen a rich man share with the poor And a poor man know his worth I've seen love in a torturer's eye Seen broken bones mend on the wheel I've seen a servant return home And before him his master kneel I've seen a mother rape her son And a daughter k** her father I've seen a priest confess to a who*e And a jailer set free by his prisoner I've seen the moon overtake the sun And the evening star rise in the morning I've seen insects devour a kingdom And lions heed a warning I've seen a child lead an army And I've seen a dead man weep I've seen elephants in mourning And I've heard monkeys speak I've seen snow fall in the desert And the sea set on fire I've seen a dead tree sprout leaves And bones rise from a pyre
