Down, down cut me down
So I can lie on familiar ground

I witnessed all that you ignore
and I don't want to see it no more

hold your knife steady and plunge it deep
I'm more than ready for the secrets I'll keep

I can feel and I can see
and the hidden part is the heart of me

Think you sit upon my grave
but I'll be here
I'll be here
I'll be here
when your children rule the day

So down, down cut me down
So I can lie on familiar ground

I witnessed all that you ignore
and I don't want to see it no more

hold your knife steady and plunge it deep
I'm more than ready for the secrets I'll keep

I can speak and I shall say
that the crack in the wood
is a difficult way

Think you sit upon my grave
But I'll be here
I'll be here
I'll be here
I'll be here
When your children rule the day

Yes I'll be here
I'll be here
I'll be here
I'll be here
When your children rule the day
