The Gallow Is God Lyrics
Oh how my heart it sings suicide,
Oh how my gallow sinks of black dye.
Oh how my death march brings a tear to your eye,
Oh how the noose it swings when you die.
What a surprise, what is the price, what is the price, what is the price?
What a surprise, what is the price, what is the price, what is the price?
Oh how my heart it splits when you dumb my eyes,
Oh how my gallow sinks of red dye.
Oh how the noose it smiles when you lie,
Oh how my womb it licks when you dig deep inside.
What a surprise, what is the price, what is the price, what is the price?
What a surprise, what is the price, what is the price, what is the price?
Do you do it,oh yeah do you feel it,oh yeah do you sell it,oh yeah,do you need it,oh yeah
In the sun the willows give you shade how they hang like a guillotine blade
Oh how my gallow sinks of black dye.
Oh how my death march brings a tear to your eye,
Oh how the noose it swings when you die.
What a surprise, what is the price, what is the price, what is the price?
What a surprise, what is the price, what is the price, what is the price?
Oh how my heart it splits when you dumb my eyes,
Oh how my gallow sinks of red dye.
Oh how the noose it smiles when you lie,
Oh how my womb it licks when you dig deep inside.
What a surprise, what is the price, what is the price, what is the price?
What a surprise, what is the price, what is the price, what is the price?
Do you do it,oh yeah do you feel it,oh yeah do you sell it,oh yeah,do you need it,oh yeah
In the sun the willows give you shade how they hang like a guillotine blade

is it just me or does this song have a bit of a nirvana feel to it ?could just be me....
@redsuperphone I heard it too! I discovers this song when it came on Hole Radio on pandora. (I'm a fan of both Kurt and Courtney... SHOCKING!) and when I heard the beginning I thought it was a Nirvana song that I somehow hadn't heard yet. And then I heard Brody's beautiful voice

i love this song.. yup LOVE it .. i love them all ..
This song is amazing live. It reminds me of when I saw them at Leeds festival last year. And i agree with redsuperphone, the intro and chorus have a Nirvana feel to them
definitly nirvana-esque...repetitive and mellow in a good way ..such an awesome song! love nirvana too lol.
this song is about love and a suicidal heart.. maybe its heart break.. brody describes sex in her song " oh how my womb it licks you when you dig deep inside" its a great song, one of my favs!
I think it's about paying a price when you commit suicide...it could also be glorifying suicide since it talks about the guillotine and almost glorifies it
