Lay Me Down

[Verse 1]
I know you thought that you could bury me
Put me six feet down beneath your guilty pleas
Oh, you held your shovel proud
You laid me down as you spoke my praise
Digging foot by foot you dug my grave
Oh, you'll never lay me down

[Refrain]
(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
(Oh, oh)
No, you'll never lay me down

[Verse 2]
I see your feet and they're covered in mud
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
Now that you tried to kill, spite and feed off me
Oh, I wish you well, my friend

[Pre-Chorus]
Oh, lay me down
Oh, lay me down
No, you'll never lay me down
Oh, lay me down
Oh, lay me down, yeah
You'll never lay me down

[Chorus]
You can't kill me, I'm already dead
I grow 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 lay me down

[Bridge]
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

[Chorus]
You can't kill me, I'm already dead
And 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 grow 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

[Outro]
Oh no, you'll never lay me down
Oh no, you'll never lay me down
