The Haunting Presence
from Giles Corey by Giles Corey
lyrics
Giles Corey, bloody, gory,
we will redress your wrongs
bloody, battered,
nothing matters,
somehow, just makes it worse
and I don't care if I live or die,
because I ain't ever going to no other side,
there ain't no heaven and there ain't no hell,
but I am a sinner so it's all just as well
there's a devil on my back
there's a devil on my legs,
there's a devil on my chest
there's a devil on my neck
and of a wicked physick came
all the heavy stones
to fall with crushing weight upon
all of those who can't become a ghost
I've been wailing like a child at the bottom of a well
I've been pacing like a man in a prison cell
I am buried above the ground
and noone knows anything
is this real
we will redress your wrongs
bloody, battered,
nothing matters,
somehow, just makes it worse
and I don't care if I live or die,
because I ain't ever going to no other side,
there ain't no heaven and there ain't no hell,
but I am a sinner so it's all just as well
there's a devil on my back
there's a devil on my legs,
there's a devil on my chest
there's a devil on my neck
and of a wicked physick came
all the heavy stones
to fall with crushing weight upon
all of those who can't become a ghost
I've been wailing like a child at the bottom of a well
I've been pacing like a man in a prison cell
I am buried above the ground
and noone knows anything
is this real
