Jolie Laide - Murder Ballad

Come find me, my dear, down the road through the grasslands
By the side river there 'neath the rocks I lay dying
You know where I am, you got mad in the end
You struck hard only once, no one knows so you ran

Run, run, run if you can
Carry that weight, carry it man
Out in the glade, try and hide from my haze
Oh run, run away man

My girl, you know why you're not so soft as you lay now
I wanted to cry but my God, I'm not guilty
My God knows I did it to save something dear
Keep one love in my heart and the devil be clear

Burn, burn, burn in the ground
Sleep down below and don't make a sound
What we don't see, well it never need be
So burn, burn in the ground

Come find me, my love, or I will call to your children
It's been many years now 'neath the rocks I lay dying
I'll take your small crew down the river to swim
I won't tell you when and their end will be grim

Mourn, mourn, mourn for the babes
Caught in the ire and they never got saved
Listen to me in a whisper I say
You will mourn, mourn for your babes

~~~♫♫♫~~~

Your mean, mean hollow heart
We kill what we love and we let it rot
You're a cold, cold empty spot
In my head taking over again
In my head taking over again

Burn, burn, burn in the ground
Sleep down below and don't make a sound
What we don't see, well it never need be
So burn, burn in the ground
So burn, burn in the ground
Oh, burn, burn, burn in the ground
Sleep down below and don't make a sound
What we don't see, well it never need be
So burn, burn
Burn, burn
Burn, burn in the ground
