Lay Me Down

By Graveyard_Desciple

time wastes away
and leaves me alone
see the decay
as flesh tears from bone

can you find me
all covered in dust?
How can this be?
victim of death's lust

how many nights do I have to bleed?
defenseless while all my demons feed
only in death will I find rest
exhausted from failing all life's tests

they forced me into solitude
when all I wanted was the truth
their lies pierce and murder me
lay me down for an endless sleep

how many nights do I have to bleed?
defenseless while all my demons feed
only in death will I find rest
exhausted from failing all life's tests

Lay me down and bury me
just make me a memory
my feelings are sacrifice
just kill me and give me life

how many nights do I have to bleed?
defenseless while all my demons feed
only in death will I find rest
exhausted from failing all life's tests
how many nights do I have to bleed?
defenseless while all my demons feed
only in death will I find rest
exhausted from failing all life's tests

Lay me down and bury me
just make me a memory
my feelings are sacrifice
just kill me and give me life
