  • Sounding off in revelations
    The end is far past near
    Falling fast through a concrete passage
    Down, down, down
    These questions will
    My question will
    These questions will

    My question will I find her
    That kiss so sweet, sweet, sweet
    That body lies so gently down
    As heaven weeps without her
    Now heaven weeps without her
    As heaven weeps without her now

    Do what this beggar pleads and bury me, bury me
    Do what this beggar pleads
    Do what this beggar pleads and bury me, bury me
    She's the one and I'll search forever

    Latch onto the souls of these cliffs
    Ask the damned to lend a hand
    That body lies so gently down
    As heaven weeps without her
    Now heaven weeps without her
    As heaven weeps without her now
    (Salvation returns as I'm coming undone)

    Do what this beggar pleads and bury me, bury me
    Do what this beggar pleads
    Do what this beggar pleads and bury me, bury me
    She's the one so I'll search forever

    As heaven weeps without her now
    As heaven weeps without her now
    As heaven weeps without her
    As heaven weeps without her now
    Salvation returns as I'm coming undone

    Oohh

    Unlock your heart, love
    And please remind yourself
    That breathings not the same
    Since I take in air for you
    And I'm pulling fucking through

    Do what this beggar pleads and bury me, bury me
    Do what this beggar pleads
    Do what this beggar pleads and bury me, bury me
    So she's the one and I'll search forever Lyrics licensed and provided by LyricFind
