lyrics

Born through the light when I was young
Whether or not I would succumb
I guess early on my soul was spun
Through eerie things unknown
And I remember the nights when they would come
Yeah, the shadows would sing through slithering tongues
Saying, child there is no need to run
Don't wind up on your own

They will follow me down to the grave
They will follow me down to the grave
As they sang in the night I will sing another day
They will follow me down to the grave

The Devil's gonna catch me hiding under that stone
Way down in a hole on my way home
And to echoes delight I might join in song
But I'd rather sing alone

They will follow me down to the grave
They will follow me down to the grave
As they sang in the night I will sing another day
They will follow me down to the grave

I was born through the light when I was young
Now I sing a verse through a withering lung
And way back to the night that song was sung
Hell, I'd rather sing alone
But I'll never sing alone
