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
