Lay me down on the hillside
Cover up my eyes
I don't want to see another
Shepard lurking in disguise
Lead his flock back to the slaughter
With sugar coated lies
Lay me down on the hillside
And cover up my eyes
Lay me down on the hillside
Cover up my ears
I don't want to hear the choir
Prey upon our deepest fears
Or the Preachers drink from cisterns
Loaded full of fallen tears
Lay me down on the hillside
And cover up my ears
Lay me down on the hillside
Lay me down and walk away
Leave no roses on my headstone
Leave no footprints in the clay
Just lay me down and walk away
Lay me down on the hillside
And cover up my mouth
So I can't tell the truth beyond
The shadow of a doubt
I don't want to make a promise
Just to fail to keep my vows
Lay me down on the hillside
Cover up my mouth
Lay me down on the hillside
Lay me down and walk away
Leave no roses on my headstone
Leave no footprints in the clay
Just lay me down and walk away
Lay me down on the hillside
Turn away your face
And leave no post or marker
Just to sanctify this place
Raise nothing in my honor
It wasn't worth the waste
Lay me down on the hillside
And turn away your face
Lay me down on the hillside
Lay me down and walk away
Leave no roses on my headstone
Leave no footprints in the clay
Lay me down on the hillside
I don't want to meet this way
Let me lay there in the darkness
You know that's where I want to stay
Just lay me down and walk away
