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
