lyrics

I find it hard to breathe inside this wooden kimono
All my friends have gathered ‘round to say their farewells
Someone drill a hole, so I can see those flies circle like vultures
And if I can’t shake this, then won’t someone see that my grave is kept clean?

Thought I saw Jesus
Thought I saw my kin
There’s a dusk and I can’t see this box I'm in
It’s dark as hell and hot as hell down in the hole

Raise me! Like Elijah raised the son of the widow of Zarephath
With my shallow breath I’ll swear this is not the bed I made
I can see the dust surround me and I can hear the trumpets
I can hear the singing of the choir

Thought I saw Jesus
Thought I saw my kin
They’re comin’ to raise me from this box that I am in
It’s dark as hell and hot as hell down in the hole

I find it hard to breathe inside this wooden kimono
I feel the itchin’ of those insects as the crawl o’er my skin
When I woke, I did not expect to be laid here
I can barely breathe, so I'll lay with my mistakes

Thought I saw Jesus
Thought I saw my kin
And now I can hear the singing of the choir
It’s dark as hell And hot as hell Down in the Hole
