Beautiful I'm fading now
Oppressor's guns have brought me down
Memories are the last to burn
Lay me down lay me down

Do you know I love you now
more than I could ever hope to breathe ?
Even now here as I fade
your eyes in mine keep me brave

Rise

Lay me down deep in theses ferns
where no one can hear us speak
Pour your words into my ear
with you now, there's no fear

Lay me down my beautiful one
i hear the sound of approaching guns
take your freedom, take your freedom [bad word] No bullet holes will take our son

Rise

I feel the cold pass through my bones
and the mist in every breath I breathe
I feel the black waves crashing in
Crashing in over me

Beautiful I miss you now
more than I could ever hope to breathe
I'll be right here beside you
Live your life live, live it free...
