Lay down lay down
Lay it all down
Let your white birds smile up
At the ones who stand and frown
Lay down lay down
Lay it all down
Let your white birds smile up
At the ones who stand and frown
We were so close there was no room
We bled inside each others' wounds
We all had caught the same disease
And we all sang the songs of peace
Chorus:
Lay down lay down
Lay it all down
Let your white birds smile up
At the ones who stand and frown
Lay down lay down
Lay it all down
Let your white birds smile up
At the ones who stand and frown
So raise the candles high
'Cause if you don't we could stay
Black against the night
So raise them higher again
And if do you we could stay dry against the rain
Chorus
We were so close there was no room
We bled inside each others' wounds
We all had caught the same disease
And we all sang the songs of peace
Some came to sing
Some came to pray
Some came to keep the dark away
So raise the candles high
'Cause if you don't we could stay
Black against the night
So raise them higher again
And if you do we could stay dry against the rain
Chorus
Lay down lay down
Lay it all down
Let your white birds smile up
At the ones who stand and frown
You got to lay down lay down
Lay it all down
Let your white birds smile up
At the ones who stand and frown
