The Banner Send Me Down lyrics

Send, send me down.
Push me deep and far beneath the ground
Somewhere cold and absent of light.
Point my way, I seek only time.
Send, send me down.
Somewhere cold where I cannot be found
I have run as far as crooked legs could run
And fallen hard in the blood, the earth and the snow
I have bled, bled within seconds of dropping cold
Smiling wide,wide as an ocean of faith and hope.
Hold me down
Fill my lungs-let me drown.
I have betrayed, stolen and slain because you would have it so

Returned to the shade, returned to the blade in defense of your broken home.
Beaten and shunned, now but a gun empty and rotting out
An obstinate fool, a zealot for you, abandoned and broken down.
Hold, hold me down.
Fill my lungs-let me drown.
Tie me on high, open the lines-spill this filth out.
Lay me low, roll over the stone, light the ground behind.
Burn what remains of my written name
Commit my face to time.
Hold, hold me down.
