[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
