I know you thought that you could bury me
Put me six feet down
beneath your guilty pleas
Oh, your hell's shoveled ground

You lay me down as you smoke my praise
Digging foot by foot you dug my grave
Oh, you'll never lay me down

(Lay me down)
Oh, lay me down
(Lay me down)
Oh, don't lay me down now
(Oh, oh)
You'll never lay me down

(Lay me down)
Oh, lay me down
(Lay me down)
Oh, lay me down now
(Oh, oh)
No, you'll never lay me down

I see your feet and they're covered in mud
I see your hands
they're all stained from the blood
Oh, I'll forgive you for your sins

I hope you feel better
now that you are free
Now that you tried to kill us both
tried to feed off me
Oh I wish you weren't my friend

Oh, lay me down
Oh, lay me down
No, you'll never lay me down
Oh, lay me down
Oh, lay me down
No, you'll never lay me down

You can't kill me, I'm already dead
I grow stronger with your gun to my head
See I've lived and died a thousand times
I'll climb out again
Lay me down, you'll never lay me down
Oh no, you'll never lay me down

Lay me down, down, down
Lay me down, down, down
Lay me down, down, you'll never lay me down

Lay me down, down, down
Lay me down, down, down
Lay me down, down, you'll never lay me down

Lay me down, down, down
Lay me down, down, down
Lay me down, down, you'll never lay me down

Lay me down, down, down
Lay me down, down, down
Lay me down, down, you'll never lay me down

You can't kill me, I'm already dead
I grow stronger with your gun to my head
See I've lived and died a thousand times
I'll climb out again
Lay me down, you'll never lay me down

You can't kill me, I'm already dead
I grow stronger with your gun to my head
See I've lived and died a thousand times
I'll climb out again
Lay me down, you'll never lay me down

Oh no, you'll never lay me down
Oh no, you'll never lay me down
