[Verse 1]

I have walked behind you

Assumed power in the dead of night

He was a funeral hymn

Composed of fleeting fires

[Chorus]

Bring it down, I’ll keep it brief

Bring it down, I’ll keep it brief

Bring it down, I’ll keep it brief

[Verse 2]

Lay it bare, take it away

Lower it down, kill all my faith

You got me where you want me

I will come to be

[Verse 3]

Fever was high but I'm older now

I like it better when you don’t speak

[Chorus]

Bring it down, I’ll keep it brief

Bring it down, I’ll keep it brief

Bring it down, I’ll keep it brief

[Bridge]

Sing a song of mercy

I got a pocket full of prayers to spare

[Chorus]

Bring it down, I’ll keep it brief

Bring it down, I’ll keep it brief

Bring it down, I’ll keep it brief
