"Lay Me Down" lyrics

I know you thought that you could bury me
Put me six feet down beneath your guilty pleas
Oh oh you held your shovel proud

You laid me down while you spoke my praise
Digging foot by foot you dug my grave
Oh oh you'll never lay me down

(Lay me down) Oh lay me down
(Lay me down) Oh lay me down now
Oh Oh you'll never lay me down

(Lay me down) Oh lay me down
(Lay me down) Oh lay me down now
No you'll never lay me down

I see your feet and they are covered mud
And I see your hands - they're all stained from the blood
Oh I forgive you for your sins

I hope you feel better now that you are free
After you tried to kill, spite and feed off me
Oh oh I wish you well my friend

Oh lay me down
Lay me down now
Oh oh you'll never lay me down

Oh lay me down
Oh Lay me down now
You'll never lay me down

You can't kill me - I'm already dead
I grew stronger with your gun to my head
See I've lived and died a thousand times
I'll climb out again
Lay me down
You'll never lay me down
Oh no
You'll never leave me down

Lay me down, down, down
Lay me down, down, down
Lay me down, down, you'll never lay me down

Lay me down, down, down
Lay me down, down, down
Lay me down, down, you'll never lay me down

Lay me down, down, down
Lay me down, down, down
Lay me down, down, you'll never lay me down

Lay me down, down, down
Lay me down, down, down
Lay me down, down, you'll never lay me down

You can't kill me - I'm already dead
I grew stronger with your gun to my head
See I've lived and died a thousand times
I'll climb out again
Lay me down
You'll never lay me down

You can't kill me - I'm already dead
I grew stronger with your gun to my head
See I've lived and died a thousand times
I'll climb out again
Lay me down
You'll never lay me down

Oh no
You'll never leave me down
Oh no
You'll never leave me down
