IT SEEMS THEY'RE DIGGING DOWN AGAIN
SPEECHLESS, WHAT IS THERE TO SAY?
THE RAIN IS POURING THICK AND GRAY
THEY PUT HIM IN HIS GRAVE TONIGHT
THEY SENT HIM ON HIS WAY
THEY SHOVED HIM IN HIS GRAVE

I HAVE TOLD YOU TO WALK AWAY
THIS IS PART OF WHY IT TAKES SO LONG
I HAVE TOLD YOU TO WALK AWAY
THIS IS PART OF WHY IT TAKES SO LONG TONIGHT

SUPPOSED TO SEND HIM HOME ALRIGHT
INSTEAD THEY QUICKLY WASHED THEIR HANDS
TORMENT IS THE WAY THAT WE PLAYED
I PUT HIM IN HIS GRAVE TONIGHT
SHOULD BE THE OTHER WAY
HE SHOULD HAVE TO BURY ME

I HAVE TOLD YOU TO WALK AWAY
THIS IS PART OF WHY IT TAKES SO LONG
I HAVE TOLD YOU TO WALK AWAY
THIS IS PART OF WHY IT TAKES SO LONG TONIGHT

AS SIMPLE AS IT SEEMS
SOME THINGS ARE NOT MEANT TO BE
THIS MIRROR, WE DON'T SEE EYE TO EYE
THEY PUT US IN OUR GRAVES TONIGHT
THEY SENT US ON OUR WAY
THEY SHOVED US IN THESE GRAVES

I HAVE TOLD YOU TO WALK AWAY
THIS IS PART OF WHY IT TAKES SO LONG
I HAVE TOLD YOU TO WALK AWAY
THIS IS PART OF WHY IT TAKES SO LONG TONIGHT

WHEN THE DIRT COMES DOWN
I CAN HEAR YOU CRYING
THIS IS WHAT WE CAME FOR
WE FORESAW THIS DAY

I HAVE TOLD YOU TO WALK AWAY
THIS IS PART OF WHY IT TAKES SO LONG
I HAVE TOLD YOU TO WALK AWAY
THIS IS PART OF WHY IT TAKES SO LONG TONIGHT
