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
