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
