Set me down, Oh set me down On hallowed ground again Wear me down in prayer confounded Shadow my torment It's dead it's over all too slow Can't you see you're my worst enemy? It's over, overthrown All I see is just faithless decree Set me down, Oh lay me down On ravaged ground again Lay me down, embrace me now, My prelude to descent We never run the same way... We never run the same...
