This is a difficult song for me to understand. The best I can come up is maybe the Hanging Tree is the forbidden tree in the garden of Eden. "Cling to the branch of a tree/That was waiting for/Something to preach/Someone to teach/The Word was the first/And the last to be heard/From the branch of the tree/It was praying for me to fall down" these lines support that theory the most. The forbidden fruit of the tree contains the knowledge but it was also the cause of temptation and sin which could be what they me by "it was praying for me to fall down"
But the ending of the song when he is talking about a man and a boy in the light completely throws me off. anyone have any ideas
