The Haunting Presence Lyrics by Giles Corey

Giles Corey

2011

[Verse]
Giles Corey, bloody and gory
We will redress your wrongs
Bloody and 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
[Refrain]
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
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
There's a devil on my back
[Bridge]
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
And of a wicked physick came
Those heavy stones
To fall with a heavy weight upon
Those who cannot become a ghost
[Chorus]
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
I am buried above the ground
I am buried above the ground
I am buried above the ground (Ooh-ooh)
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
I am buried above the ground
I am buried above the ground
I am buried above the ground (Ooh-ooh)
I've been wailing like a child at the bottom of a well
(And no one knows anything, and no one knows anything)
I've been pacing like a man in a prison cell
(And no one knows anything, and no one knows anything)
I am buried above the ground
(And no one knows anything, and no one knows anything)
(And no one knows anything, and no one knows anything at all)
[Outro]
(Incomprehensible yelling)
Breathe on, breathe on
Breathe on, breathe on
Breathe on, breathe on
Breathe on, breathe on
Breathe on, breathe on
Breathe on, breathe on
Breathe on, breathe on
Breathe on, breathe on
Breathe on, breathe on
Breathe on, breathe on
Breathe on, breathe on
Breathe on, breathe on
Breathe on, breathe on
Breathe on, breathe on
Breathe on, breathe on
