Mother, mother I wait
Father, father don't you fear
The ground is what this blood knows

We simply greet it and rest
All I ask of you now is to lay me down


Lay me down
Lay me down
Lay me down


With my last breath, my soul will slip
With my last breath, my soul will slip

With my last breath, my soul will slip
Where the ground is what this blood knows
We simply greet it and rest

And Brother, brother when the time comes
Will you smoke this history now?
Burn this name

When you lay me down

Lay me down

Lay me down
Lay me down
Lay me down

When you lay me down
Lay me down
And lay me down

Lay me down
When you lay me down
Lay me down

When you lay me down
Lay me down
Lay me down

Lay me down

With my last breath, my soul will slip

Where the ground is what this blood knows
We simply greet it and rest
