Lay Myself Down

It's the firing line

This cursed space

By my side must be a hard luck place

No one ever did stay

Never stayed too long

Just long enough

To go all wrong

Where the rest had failed, you stood this ground

For you I lay myself down

O my love

It's time you know

So listen close and let it go

I'll wear these chains, like a shining crown

For you I lay myself down

So leave your guns

Smoking at the gate

We'll never be free, til we're free from hate

Where tomorrow leads

I cannot go

That path is for your steps alone

Shed no more tears, upon this ground

For you I lay myself down

When I'd lost faith, it was you I found

For you I lay myself down
