Take Me Down

Take me down
Tear my skin
Make me bleed
Make me see

Take me down
Blacken my face
Bend me double
Make me free

Take me down
Into the stench
Suffocate me
Make me live

Take me down
And crush me
Until I sleep
And start to dream

Take me down
Into the darkness
Heart in mouth
Fear in my bones

Take me down
Make me pray
Make me sing
Make me praise

Take me down
To the black pit
Take me with you
So I can know

Take me down
To the black pit
Chained to friends
Who die tomorrow?

Take me down
To the black pit
That I might also die
And unchain my soul

Take me with you…
