Lay down, sleep my little darling
I'll be nothing when you're gone
Lay down, just like in a coffin
Then I'll have nothing but a song
I'll leave you in a coffin for real
I'llleave you in a church
Lay down
Leave, you'll be lonely
I know I won't go
Lay down
Sleep, you'll be lonely
I know I won't go
It's not my turn
Lay down, this pain'll be long gone
With the absence of your breath
I know, I know that you loved me
I can love you when you're dead
So I'll leave you in this coffin for God
I'll leave you in the dirt
Lay down
Leave, you'll be lonely
I know I won't go
Lay down
Sleep, you'll be lonely
I know I won't go
It's not my turn
Lay down
Leave, you'll be lonely
I know I won't go
Lay down
Sleep, you'll be lonely
I know I won't go
Lay down before me
I know I won't go
It's not my turn
I'll be nothing when you're gone
Lay down, just like in a coffin
Then I'll have nothing but a song
I'll leave you in a coffin for real
I'llleave you in a church
Leave, you'll be lonely
I know I won't go
Lay down
Sleep, you'll be lonely
I know I won't go
It's not my turn
With the absence of your breath
I know, I know that you loved me
I can love you when you're dead
So I'll leave you in this coffin for God
I'll leave you in the dirt
Leave, you'll be lonely
I know I won't go
Lay down
Sleep, you'll be lonely
I know I won't go
It's not my turn
Leave, you'll be lonely
I know I won't go
Lay down
Sleep, you'll be lonely
I know I won't go
Lay down before me
I know I won't go
It's not my turn

yea i got to play this song, it is on guitar hero 3! ^^
I know this one isn't as optimistic but personally I think its about a girl he loved who he broke up with and he wishes she were dead
I think you guys are wrong. I think this song is about him either killing his girlfriend or wishing she was dead. "This pain will be long gone with the absence of your breath." That makes it sound like he wants her to go.
The singer has said that this song is a first-person about a man killing the woman he loves.
i saw them live. it rock, so hard. they remind me of a young Black Sabbath.
i saw them with mastodon, personally i thought they did a way better job than mastodon
just good solid rock
My buddies Spread Eagle played with them in Victoria BC and I missed the show! damnit! I heard it was fucking AWESOME!
im pretty sure this song is gonna be on guitar hero 3
this song is on Guitar Hero 3
wow, i love how many people have posted useful interpretations. It seems pretty obvious but i could be completely wrong, on the surface i think it's about a man who's wife/girlfriend has died, but he's staying optimistic, that it's not his time to go, but he'll see her again some day.
