Machine Head - Now I Lay Thee Down Lyrics






[Music: Flynn / Demmel, Lyrics: Flynn]

I want to know
How it feels
When we die
Can you take me under?

[Chorus:]
Dream over
Grieve no more
And breathe one last time
Now I lay thee down

She watched me leave
Me bleeding
On the floor
As she takes me under

[Chorus]

Godless mimicry
White lights cemetery
Flashes of the angel's ivory wings
Images so many broke dreams
Of pain
Terror
Fear
Crippling

Follow the light into the tunnel
Or will it end up in a black hole?
Follow the light into the tunnel,
Dead in its end

What is love?
What is murder?
Within the eye of the beholder

[Solo: Demmel, Flynn, Demmel, Flynn]

What have I done?
I've gone and killed the only one I love
How could I do this?
I'm screaming at God
Why do you curse me?
Fuck it, load it, sever the day

[Chorus]

Now I lay thee down,
Underground

    Most underrated track on the album.

    E.... G....

    This and Beautiful Mourning.

    E.... G....

    Not underrated at all, this is one of their most popular songs.

  24. A.... S....

    Can you suggest any other songs that sound like this one please?

    A.... S....

    Beautiful Mourning by the same band sounds fairly similar.

    A.... S....

    All that you are by Mudvayne

    A.... S....

    Purity by Slipknot

    A.... S....

    IMN by Mudvayne

    A.... S....

    T.... W....

    Listen to Supercharger and then come back and tell me the same thing.

    T.... W....

    Horror and Halloween 101 Lmao, truth

    T.... W....

    Horror and Halloween 101 Supercharger is shit, and so is Korn

    T.... W....

    Korn has a different sound then Machine Head and both bands are pretty fucking sweet to listen too

    T.... W....

    You cant compare quality in music as it's completely subjective. But you can say that korn is a more popular and influential band

  27. T.... W....

    damn that song is badass

  28. W.... i....

    one of my fav MH songs

  29. r.... ....

    The fucking bass is so good in this. Just top shelf song ever imo.

  30. L.... ....

    This song sounds /so/ damn good.

  31. A.... A....

    Such a haunting vibe in this song yet it is amazing! Every new machine head song I come across, I am just blown away. One of my favourite bands for sure. One of the best musical artists in an unfortunately decaying music industry.

  32. k.... ....

    ρε τον παπάρα τι εγραψε....ωραιος..

    k.... ....

    Χαχαχαχαχαχαχα το ευλογησες

  35. M.... O....

    Machine Head harika dostum !!!

  36. W.... i....

    FUCKING DEEP!!

  37. D.... ....

    One knows a song is good when it can completely alter one's mood. I'm neutral and all of a sudden... PISSED!!! These guys always get me with their songs. Some sort of strong emotion I can't help but feel and I can't just lash out for nothing. Holy f*ck these guys are good.

    D.... ....

    +DeathclawAlphaMale maybe u should see a doctor.

    D.... ....

    Hassan yeah, the heavy metal doctor 🤘

    D.... ....

    Hassan Alnajjar - A65AP You should see a doctor because you are emotionless!

    D.... ....

    Shame they split up

    D.... ....

    @Kan No, seriously, the song is good but we are truly concerned about your health

  38. z.... ....
