Lyrics
[Verse 1] Tell them all the truth, for no secret lies this time Once upon a world, way before your loss So look out, I fear that they follow near While in the courthouse, Judge Kevin sentenced rope to neck

[Chorus] They don't hear the serpent that burns your ear... Baby, look out!

[Verse 2] Leaving well enough alone, is no choice of yours to make Guilty says the proof, this town has no room for you So look out, I fear that they follow near For from the gallows you'll swing for all the kids to see

[Chorus] They don't hear the serpent that burns your ear Or the coward that sits alone in your head with itch... Baby, look out!

[Chorus] They don't hear the serpent that burns your ear Or the coward that sits alone in your head with itch... Baby, look out!

[Interlude] 'Cause I'm so sorry that you could ever I'm so sorry, for you, you'll never love again

Story Context
"" '''As the official story has not yet been released, anything in this section is speculation, not fact. More so than usual, of course.'''

This song seems to be depicting a trail in which the accused is sentenced to death by hanging. They also seem to suffer from some kind of psychosis. We are unsure who is on trial, but this could be a response to Arthur McCloud's death and the subsequent disappearance of his children. Perhaps someone—even someone crazy—is being blamed for the accident.
