Jack the Radio - Creatures (feat. Tamisha Waden) Lyrics

There's a tree and man atop that hill
One goes up while the other fell
He's gonna rise, rise
He says let me rise higher than the trees on this mountain side
But what the man didn't know is the fallen tree would wake
The creatures of the night from their evil caves
Hissing why, why did you make me rise
Someone's gonna pay before the sun will shine
Hissing why, why, why

I say run and put your axe away
You'll be reaching for the shovel till the end of days
I say run and put your axe away
You'll be running from the devil till the end, the end of days

Well the man went back seasoned, old and grey
With a shovel and a seed and a debt to pay
The man dug and the man prayed
That the creatures wouldn't wake from their evil caves
The man cried and cried and the tree grew high
While the creatures of the hill were softly standing by
On that mountainside

I say run and put your axe away
You're done running for forgiveness till the end of days
Well I say run and put your axe away
You'll be running from the devil till the end of days
