Down Songtext
von Simon Russell

I was raised up north by the sea
Where we drank the silence and so did she
The smoke in our lungs
Our grinding teeth
We drained the lie
Stumbled on our feet

I′ve been screaming at sunsets and moonlight
Lay me down

The kings and queens forgot their vows
Now the beggars and thieves will feed their mouths
They don't look guilty when they eat
We sing the songs of gods who bleed

Lay me down
Lay me down


Save it darling
We don′t have time
The dream is gone, what can you sacrifice?
How about the gun deep in your hand?
You should blame the system not your neighbors land

I've been screaming at sunsets and moonlight
Lay me down
Lay me down

When we fall into pieces by this man-painted sky
They will handle the seasons like a devil in disguise
Can you tell me the difference between their truth and lies?
I know it's hard to stand there with your red opened eyes
Oh love please save it
Take me back to the sea
I will stand there waiting for a sunrise and scream
When we fall into pieces they won′t mind
Lay me down
